주요 도로에서 벗어난 자갈길에서의 짧은 라이딩

In San Giovanni in Croce, nestled in the Cremona countryside, stands this 15th-century noble residence associated with Cecilia Gallerani, the "Lady with an Ermine" depicted by Leonardo da Vinci. The villa, now restored and open to the public, preserves Renaissance-era architectural elements and opens onto a vast park of over twelve hectares, with ponds, clearings, and paths.

A 2019 art installation by Giuseppe "Giupi" Boles: a large "window" framing sunsets over the Po. It is located in the Lido Po Park, in the floodplain area facing the city: a perfect resting point for those cycling along the riverbank, with an open view of the river, floodplains, and riparian forests. In summer, the "La Baia" bar is open just a few dozen meters away; there is parking and access to the trails of the Golena del Po Intermunicipal Park.

This characteristic village in the Mantua area is best known for the pontoon bridge that allows you to cross the Navarolo canal. Right next to the bridge is the imposing Torrazzo tower. A watchtower commissioned by Vespasiano Gonzaga.

With the mural that adorns part of the wall here, the artists honor an early female cyclist: Alfonsina Morini Strada (1891 to 1959).

There are very few rest areas on this long stretch of very well-paved road. So we were very happy to find this bench with a bike repair station. In summer, it's probably almost unbearable in the sun here.
