Going up from Abeto

Village of Villages

"Among all creatures, the Virgin Mary is the masterpiece of the Most Holy Trinity: in her humble and faithful heart the Lord prepared for himself a worthy dwelling place to fulfill the mystery of salvation. Divine love found its perfect counterpart in her, and in her womb the only begotten Son became man. Let us turn to Mary with childlike trust so that with her help we can grow in love and make of our lives a hymn of praise to the Father through the Son in the Holy Spirit." (Pope Benedict XVI, Joseph Ratzinger)

very nice climb, but only partial shade

"Mary is really our sister, as Saint Ambrose says. She lived a life very similar to ours. It is of course beautiful to venerate Mary as the Virgin and Mother of God, as the one conceived immaculately by original sin and assumed into heaven; but she is also the Madonna of plates, brooms and cooking pots..." With the motif of the broom, Albino Luciani (Pope John Paul I) may be taking up a thought of his predecessor in the office of Bishop of Rome, Giuseppe Roncalli (Pope John XXIII), who is said to have said: "One can become holy with a pastoral staff in one's hand, but just as one can become holy with a broom."

beautiful climb with little traffic and spectacular views

Nice, fairly long climb, about 12 km, however with maximum gradients no more than 10%. The road surface in the Tuscan section is very good, then after the pass the road still suffers from the landslides of May 2023 and maximum attention must be paid
