サンレオの絶景の山頂・トップ19

Perhaps, in front of this small sacred monument, which the hiker encounters here in the form of a cross, a few short sentences by Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday last year, might be of interest (address of April 5, 2024): “Feel called (...) to carry into the Church and into the world a little of this immeasurable love that compelled Jesus to die for us on the cross. May the intimate closeness to Him, as it did for Francis [of Assisi], make you ever more humble, more united, more joyful, and more essential in your love for the cross and in your concern for the poor, witnesses of peace and prophets of hope in this age of ours, which struggles so much to recognize the presence of the Lord.” (Pope Francis)

Beautiful view of the Valmarecchia

No comments needed, it has to be done... It is worth it for what it represents and also because it is quiet, without traffic.

Marco Pantani pass, on Montefeltro a few steps away, view of the valley

The panoramic view from this place is magnificent.

Iconic climb dedicated to the memory of Marco Pantani, short and intense, often above 10%.

Everything is reminiscent of Marco Pantani

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.
