A warm stroll in Lodi. Passage through Piazza del Duomo (today there was a market) and the internal facade of the Broletto, which has always been (since 1284) the seat of the Municipality of Lodi. Worth noting, although a bit secluded, is the sanctuary of S.Maria della Fontana with its small single-nave

Another hot day, indeed very hot, unfortunately I left after 12:00 PM due to commitments, so you take it all in. A couple of steps to check the "usual condominiums" in Castiglione d'Adda. The little ones are growing "well" but I had no doubts. I saw that there were a few storks missing from the nests

Never before, when you have to go out late for various reasons, do you appreciate the entire area of "my canals" and the Tombe Morte area. Not only because there are shaded sections even at noon, but also and above all because cycling with water alongside (it is irrigation season and the canals are full

Intorno a casa, con caldo.
Giornata veramente calda senza un alito di vento. Bisognerà andare al mattino.

To console you.. near the Alps, the heat was intense and particularly annoying. I set off.. but then returned home to take care of the garden.
Perhaps we haven't acclimatized yet.
To think that 10 days ago.. the Spluga pass risked being <closed due to snow>😯❄️🌨

The idea was to also do Valzurio, climbing to the Moschel huts, but starting very late and having to return earlier than planned, I practically "cut short" the latter. Valcanale is one of those side valleys of Val Seriana (like Valzurio) with an "ancient" flavor. Here the only thing that brings you back

A route for Cremona seeking a common thread between Pizzighettone and the Capital. That common thread starts from the Torre del Guado in Pizzighettone, which is striking because it is isolated from the town walls and is all that remains of an old castle built by the people of Cremona for defense against

Another classic in my area is the loop around the Vacchelli canal and then along the Adda river to Lodi, with a subsequent return home. For the occasion, I'm dusting off my old carbon MTB after many months (I'll need to adjust the gears etc.). Good thing, because the road along the Vacchelli has really

Today I went back to see how the “condominiums” were doing in Castiglione d’Adda. Given that the bridge of Montodine, on the Adda river, is closed to traffic and will be for about a year, the road from Castiglione d’Adda towards Montodine is practically a cycle path and it feels quite “sensible” not

Today a short ride along the Oglio river following the cycle path from Soncino, up to Pontoglio. The cycle path runs along the right bank and this is the best stretch because after Pontoglio there are important towns like Palazzolo, the motorway, so let's say a stretch up to Paratico is very “busy

Another classic in my area is a visit to Rivolta d’Adda, with the adjacent Adda river. Rivolta d’Adda has a geographical peculiarity: although it belongs to the province of Cremona, it is much closer to Milan and Bergamo than to Cremona itself. In fact, from a cultural point of view, it has always gravitated

Nice little ride to find Barbarossa and then continued along the banks of the Po. In reality, S. Colombano al Lambro is more linked to the Irish monk S. Colombano than to Barbarossa, who destroyed the old castle and then had the current one built. In the early 600s, on his way to Rome, he passed through

Today, since she lived close to home, in Lodi, we participated in a mini-course on honey sensory analysis held by my daughter. So, bike this morning and then late afternoon. After graduating in veterinary medicine and having a couple of daughters, Irene has completely dedicated herself to the world of

I retrace my steps.... it's been a while since I was last at the house in Piedmont. We arrived up in the afternoon and immediately went for a short stroll around the house, in the area of Pettinengo in the Biella Prealps. A couple of notes on Callabiana, a small municipality above Pettinengo, with 143
