タラメッロの絶景の山頂・トップ10

Beautiful view of the Valmarecchia

In the hinterland of Rimini, the fortress of Montebello di Torriana elegantly dominates the Marecchia and Uso valley, from a height of 436 metres: the fascinating journey through history, art and nature is made even more mysterious and magical due to the legendary presence of Azzurrina, or Guendalina, with completely white hair. The little girl was albino and for this reason, due to her appearance, she was kept hidden inside the castle to protect her from accusations of witchcraft.

Existing since the 1950s, the bar on the top of Colle del Barbotto has seen many editions of the Giro d'Italia pass through here, among other races. Here the piadina is excellent, the tagliatelle are exquisite and cycling memorabilia abounds. The current owner, Francesco, is a great bike enthusiast and will welcome those who ride with open arms.

One of the most famous climbs in all of Romagna, the Barbotto was decisive in the Giro Donne 2022: with over 50 kilometers to go, Annemiek Van Vleuten managed to make the difference here, winning the stage and mortgaging her third Giro. The Barbotto is also one of the hardest climbs of the Nove Colli gran Fondo. The noble side is the one that rises from Mercato Saraceno and on the top there is a plaque commemorating one who often trained here: Marco Pantani.

THE BALCONIES OF GIOCONDA (Leonardo da Vinci) - Monte Costagrande. "Montefeltro Art Views - where art and landscape meet". "It is like entering a work of art: before your eyes, the same identical landscapes that Piero della Francesca painted, in the fifteenth century, against the background of works such as the diptych of the Dukes of Urbino, San Gerolamo and a devotee, the Nativity, the Resurrection or the Baptism of Christ. A unique experience, to be lived in the Romagna and Marche hinterland thanks to the discovery of two "landscape hunters", as Rosetta Borchia and Olivia Nesci have been nicknamed who have identified, hidden in Montefeltro, the real views - of reliefs, cliffs, hills, rivers - that inspired the great painter. A discovery that took place in 2007, which marked the beginning of the Montefeltro Vedute Rinascimentali project with its Balconies by Piero. Nine natural balconies (currently 2022) on the Marche and Emilia-Romagna landscapes that have direct correspondences with the backgrounds of some works by Piero della Francesca and Leonardo da Vinci. Scattered throughout the territory, they are small viewpoints from which the view sweeps between art and reality: with the reproduction of the Master's work corresponding to the Balcony under your eyes, you immediately grasp the landscape he painted in the vision you have in front of you.

The Montebello Castle has been quietly and elegantly dominating the Marecchia and Uso valley for millennia.

Montebello dominates the Valmarecchia in a spectacular panoramic position. The Romans in the 3rd century had already understood that this place at 500 meters above sea level was practically unassailable, so they built a fortress to defend Romagna. The name Montebello, therefore, does not indicate the beauty of the place but comes from Mons Belli, Monte della Guerra. You enter the fortified village through a door and immediately everything appears for what it is: a small ancient world made up of low houses, a defense tower, two typical restaurants, the church of San Pietro Apostolo and then the Castle.
