Vicolo delle Molini, Bedonia

Highlight • Historical Site

Bedonia is located in Tarotal, shortly after the narrow part of the valley from the Passo del Bocco widens greatly and makes room for quite modest agriculture. From Bedonia you can leave the Tarotal either direction Bardi and Po plain or you climb in the very high Ligurian mountains around Santo Stefano d'Aveto. Or you drive along the Taro towards Parma.
The main street bypasses the historic core of the town. And you miss something. Because this core is worth a coffee break. It has some bars and it is often typical Italian bustle.
So it's worth taking a short turn from the main road to the Centro and taking a short break.

Passo Montevacca Memorial and Mountain Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

A climb immersed in the greenery of the Parma Apennines, the Montevacca pass (or Monte Vacà) was tackled by the Giro Donne in 2023. It has no impossible slopes and the asphalt is in excellent condition. On the brow, a plaque commemorates the so-called "beffa di Tasola", a victorious episode of the partisan Resistance in the area.

Tomarlo Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Tomarlo is a real crossroads. In fact, near the summit there are four roads coming from Ferriere (north side), Ponteceno (east side), Santo Stefano d'Aveto (west side) and Passo del Chiodo (south side). The latter is a beautiful road that remains on the coast.

The Malaspina-Doria castle is probably the most beautiful castle in the Aveto valley. Located in Piazza del Popolo in the center of Santo Stefano d'Aveto, it belonged to the Malaspina family and Admiral Andrea Doria.
