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.

The panoramic view from this place is magnificent.

Everything is reminiscent of Marco Pantani

Mount Carpegna is a mountain massif of the Tuscan-Romagna Apennines, located on the border between the provinces of Pesaro and Urbino, Rimini and Forlì-Cesena. The highest peak is Monte Carpegna, which reaches 1,415 meters above sea level. The massif is characterized by beech, oak and chestnut woods, and by meadows and pastures.

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.

Renamed "Passo Marco Pantani" in March 2023, the climb of Mount Carpegna was the Pirate's famous training ground. Pantani used to say, and it's a phrase you'll read many times on the asphalt: "Carpegna is enough for me." Going up from the town of the same name, you will encounter writings, statues and many other memories of Pantani. It is also a historic climb for the Giro d'Italia: in 1973 Eddy Merckx won here.

The highest peak of Monte Carpegna reaches 1,415 meters. The massif is surrounded by a calcareous geological nature and by a luxuriant forest of beech, oak and other species typical of the northern Apennines. The local fauna includes birds of prey and mammals such as foxes, roe deer and wolves.
