The Basilica of Santa Maria di Monte Berico is an important Roman Catholic pilgrimage church located on the hill of Monte Berico. Its origins date back to two apparitions of the Virgin Mary, which are said to have appeared to the peasant woman Vincenza Pasini in 1426 and 1428 during a plague epidemic. Mary promised to spare the town if a church were built there, which the population immediately did. The original Gothic church was completed in just three months. The current basilica was built between 1688 and 1703 according to plans by Carlo Borella in the Baroque style, with the Gothic structure incorporated into the new building. The façade was redesigned in the Neo-Gothic style in 1860. Particularly striking are the three symmetrical Baroque façades with 42 figures of saints and three bas-reliefs by Orazio Marinali, as well as the bell tower by Antonio Piovene, erected in 1825. Access from the city is via a 700-meter-long staircase with 150 arches, symbolizing the 15 mysteries of the Rosary and 150 Hail Marys. The basilica is an important center of Marian devotion, attracting numerous pilgrims, and was elevated to a minor basilica by Pope Pius X in 1904.

The route is immersed in nature with some shaded sections, making it suitable even in summer when it's very hot.

Beautiful ride along two large rivers in the Province of Vicenza, the Brenta and the Astico, crossing the large forage fields to the northeast of Vicenza, crossed by a vast network of waterways and irrigation canals and dotted with numerous springs where the waters that come from the Vicenza Mountains return to the surface. Many places where you can taste the typical products of the place and many observation points of the wildlife that lives in the river areas. Ideal route for Gravel bikes and MTB but also very feasible with City bike type bicycles as long as they are equipped with off-road tires.

An "iconic" place in Vicenza, from which you can enjoy a wonderful view of the city.

promontory of the city, an ideal place for the beginning of a tour and why not, also as a finale.

Equipped place for having a picnic with the family and a nice walk

Among these photos I see one taken near the sign that presents the plan of the Brenta Cycle Route: obviously when a good initiative is set up there is always a monk who defaces the signs with his signature of m....!!!
