Legends never die.

Garibaldi Street

At the top of Montevecchio one of the pirate's favorite climbs, 20 km from Cesenatico

The Giardini Pubblici di Cesena extend along part of the southern perimeter of the old city walls, near the Teatro Comunale, dedicated to the famous tenor Alessandro Bonci. The park was created in the first half of the 19th century in a neoclassical style and has undergone an important restoration under the direction of architect Pier Luigi Cervellati, completed in 2007. This restoration has partly restored the park to its original 19th century appearance. The park has an impressive main entrance on Corso Garibaldi, with a long wrought iron gate supported by brick columns. At the centre of the park is a large cast iron gazebo, reminiscent of the bandstands of the 19th century. Around the gazebo you can admire historic lanterns, originating from various European cities. The park also contains busts of famous Cesena residents, as well as various decorative elements from the time of its creation. The paths in the park are symmetrical and surrounded by ancient trees such as holm oaks and cedars. The park was originally created in 1843 on land that the city had received as a legacy from Count Paolo Neri. Over the years, the park has undergone several transformations, including a major change in 1946 when a road was built through the park. However, the recent restoration has attempted to return the park to its original design, with concentric paths and historical elements. During the restoration work, the remains of a 14th-century church and several human skeletons were also discovered, which are currently being studied.

Parco della Cava - "Dedicated to the fossiliferous deposit that came to light in the bed of the Marecchia river, it is a theme and educational park that has allowed the recovery of a quarry. Among the thousands of finds, fossil fish dating back three million years were found ago and among these some species today found only in the tropical area of the Indian Ocean."

Bike Park Poggio Berni

Here is a monument dedicated to the great champion. The statue is the 'finish line' for the many cyclists who travel the road by bike, at the end of the eighteen hairpin bends.

One of the climbs frequented by Marco Pantani in training, at the brow point of Montevecchio has a rock in which an image of the Pirate in the pink jersey is set, almost as if it were a sacred icon.
