カペレッタ峠（標高1,085m）は、エミリア＝ロマーニャ州（パルマ県/ピアチェンツァ県）とリグーリア州の境界にある、アペニン山脈の印象的な峠です。そびえ立つ風力発電のタービンと、モンテ・ゴッテロ山への近さで有名です。

In the background you can see the Passo Cento Croci, where the wind turbines are located.

Update September 2025: Fieschi Castle is temporarily closed for renovations

The presence of the Counts of Lavagna in the territory of Varese dates back at least to the beginning of the 11th century; in 1161 they obtained the investiture from Emperor Frederick I. At the end of the 12th century, two branches of the Counts - Fieschi and Pinelli - settled in the current Cassego and from there they began to clear forests, build wooden buildings, sow, and start agriculture and livestock farming. Almost immediately the long season of conflicts between the two families began, when the Fieschis drove the Pinellis out of Cassego and forced them to take refuge in the nearby town of Carbello, where they built a tower called "Torre dei Pinelli". With a subsequent pact the two families divided the territory: the one to the west of the Torre belonged to the Fieschi family, the one to the east to the Pinelli family, while the lands beyond the Scagliana river remained joint property, that is, they were a comunaglia (hence the current toponym of Comuneglia).

Quiet road through the beautiful valley. A bit uneven in places, but easily manageable with a racing bike.

The closure of the Velva tunnel (for about six months) meant that almost the entire route to the Colle was asphalted. Now the descents are a spectacle. And now that they have reopened the tunnel the traffic is scarce and therefore.... make way for cyclists!!!!

The Mola Pass is an alternative to the parallel Bracco Pass with the advantage that the road is much less busy.
