The pass is located in the municipality of Borgo San Lorenzo, in the province of Florence, at 913 m above sea level, along the former state road 302 Brisighellese Ravennate. It takes its name from the hamlet of Casaglia, which is the first town you come across when descending from the Romagna side. The former Alpe di Casaglia state road 477 branches off from the pass in a northerly direction and, after passing the nearby Sambuca Pass, descends the Senio valley.

Still closed (June 2024) and, I think forever, the old Bar-Restaurant. However, a bar is now open next door, on the side of the pass that leads towards Palazzuolo.

A classic for runners, cyclists and motorcyclists alike. The Bar Nido d'Allocco is the best for a stop based on flatbread, sandwiches, juices, beer, wine and so on and so forth....

Little-used pass on the west-east crossing through the Appeninn. There was a young guy in my scooter the whole time, who must have gone up and down 5 times.

Famous Apennine pass, the Muraglione stands out from all the others due to a large wall, in fact, on its top. It was wanted, in the first half of the 19th century, by the engineer Alessandro Manetti to offer wayfarers shelter from the strong wind that still blows on the ridge.

great ascent to the pass but unfortunately there are many over-ambitious motorcyclists in summer, although they are definitely not as aggressive as in Germany ;-)

Apennine Pass with great views, loved by motorcyclists. Access route from Mugello towards Firenzuola and the Passo della Raticosa towards Romagna. The events of the Second World War WW2, which marked these territories, are important for the Passo del Gioco. An important testimony is the Museum of the Gothic Line of Ponzalla MUGOT: https://www.museogotica.it/home/ "Gothic Line" (Gotenstellung) was the name given by the Germans to the set of fortifications built on the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines to defend the Po Valley from the advance of the allies from the South. In the summer of 1944, when it seemed that it should be overwhelmed by the allied troops, the Germans preferred to change the name to the less high-sounding "Green Line" (Grune Linie) although the term Gothic Line remained generally in use. The Germans had begun to study the possibility of fortifying the Apennines as early as August 1943, when the allies were still fighting in Sicily, however, the actual works only began in the spring of 1944, under the direction of the Todt organization. The Gothic Line was not a continuous line of fortifications, but a set of defenses arranged deep in the Apennines that exploited the natural elements of the terrain crossing Italy from the Tyrrhenian coast north of Viareggio to the Adriatic coast up to Pesaro, for about 300 km as the crow flies. The line included thousands of field works, reinforced with wood, stone or reinforced concrete, and anti-tank ditches (one of which 5 km long at the Futa Pass), all protected by barbed wire and extensive minefields. Fortunately for the allies, the Gothic works were very late on forecasts and, at the time of the attack, in September 1944, the central Apennines were still unguarded compared to the more vulnerable and therefore better fortified coasts. The weakest points of the line were the Futa Pass and the Adriatic coast, which were therefore fortified with greater effort. At the Futa, apart from the long anti-tank ditch, casemates in reinforced concrete were prepared (in some cases with Panther tank turrets with 75 mm guns), weapon stands and troop shelters. The advanced line of defense included entrenchments defended by barbed wire and extensive minefields and two of the five German divisions placed in defense of the entire central Apennines were concentrated in the Futa. For these reasons, the Americans decided to attack the Passo del Giogo, defended by few troops and less fortified, deceiving the Germans about their true intentions with a strong diversionary attack by the 34th Infantry Division on the Futa route, straddling the ridge of the Calvana and through Calenzano and Barberino. The allied operations in the Tyrrhenian sector, under the control of the 4th American Army Corps including Commonwealth troops, assumed a secondary character with respect to the effort north of Florence and the units deployed along the Tuscan coast conducted operations on a relatively limited scale until spring 1945.

beautiful curves, but expect motorbikes!

The bar/restaurant is currently closed (mid September 2020)

The monument to the cyclist is located at the Trebbio pass, that is the brow point between Dovadola and Modigliana. Near the road sign there is a stone staircase from which you reach the monument and a small area for parking. On the plaque there is a poem by Olindo Guerrini "Over the iron corsier happy step As a new reborn youth and healthy and good and free I feel " Olindo Guerrini

The Muraglione Pass (907 m above sea level) is a pass of the Apennines located in the province of Florence, in the municipality of San Godenzo, 6 kilometers south of the administrative boundary between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna and allows to cross Mugello and reach Florence. The state road 67 "Tosco-Romagnola" passes through it. Formerly a mule track, the road became a carriageway in 1836 by the will of the Grand Duke of Tuscany Leopold II. At the same time, a canton house, a lodge and a stone wall were built on the pass in order to offer travelers a shelter from the strong wind of the ridge (hence the origin of the name). The pass is an important place of the Great Apennine hike, but it is also very popular with cyclists and motorcyclists.
