로디 최고의 사이클링 경로

The vault of the central nave was painted by Luigi Morgari in 1880: it is divided into four bands, each depicting an episode from the life of San Martino. The altarpiece in the first chapel on the left, The Baptism of Jesus, is also by the same artist. The church is flooded with natural light, which filters through the side openings, giving the building an amber glow that highlights the beauty of the paintings and frescoes. During my last visit, an exhibition of paintings was also taking place here.

Breathtaking views in all seasons

To be precise, it's not a cave as such, but what in dialect is called a "crotìn": a cavity originally natural, artificially expanded to be used as a shelter or at least as a closed space. In this case, a chapel dedicated to Saint Lucy was built inside. Evocative. In front, the unmistakable, marvelous view of the Langhe.

A chapel flanked by two cypress trees and with the Langhe in the background. Very evocative.

Beautiful view right above the church

Nice place for a break

Ideal with wider tires or gravel bikes

A piece of cycle path to pedal calmly on a busy road
