A really tough climb!

At the edge of a crossroads on a small elevation of the land, there is the church of Sant'Antonio da Padova. We are in the hamlet of Piè Castello. The building, whose façade vaguely recalls a Spanish style, appears as a modest construction. Inside there is an eighteenth-century decoration. The detail of the small three-voice bell tower is interesting. The church is accessed via a short stone staircase. Its state of conservation is precarious and unfortunately it appears to be in a state of abandonment. Unknown to most, the small oratory dedicated to Sant'Antonio da Padova stands in the oldest part of the town of Maggianico, in the Bruga area. It was built in 1676 at the behest of Pasino Manzoni (1615-1680), son of Giacomo Maria, founder of the well-known Caleotto di Lecco lineage and great-great-grandfather of the writer Alessandro. The small temple stood next to the large palace built there by Pasino Manzoni and which, having been acquired by the Bonacina Manzoni family who emigrated to Venice, was later split up and divided into several homes. Inside, an altar with stucco decorations from the same period as the construction of the sacred building is preserved intact. A short distance away, on the washed out façade of an ancient house, stands out a large fresco dating back to the second half of the 15th century depicting the Madonna between Saints Anthony the Abbot and Sebastian. Going up towards the mountain, idyllic sections of the old nucleus survive, with traces of an ancient mill in the highest part of the hamlet.

Montevecchia church, wonderful view over the plain, on clear days it reaches as far as Milan and beyond

This trail is great for all types of fat tires, as well as wide enough and well maintained to become an excellent workout for those who are not very familiar with off-roading. The regional park of Montevecchia and the Curone Valley, moreover, is a splendid green lung between Lecco and Monza.

Dirt cycle path in good condition and with a compact surface unless there are heavy rains, after which the terrain is muddy and difficult to cycle in BDC.

Bridge over the last stretch of the stream, before it flows into the Lambro
