Fiume Oglio
Il solito classico giretto al fiume Oglio sopra Soncino. Fiume con poca acqua ma i canali Vacchelli (vedi foto) e Naviglio Civico pieni d'acqua per irrigazione.

A short ride in the countryside around home, returning along the canals (Civico Cremonese, Tombe Morte, Vacchelli) full of water that offer some refreshment with tree-lined roads and paths.

Classic "eat and drink" tour starting from home around Biella, with a visit to the Burcina (it had been a long time since I went there). First the "obligatory visit to Borgo Piazzo, the historic district of Biella, with origins dating back to the 12th century and its splendid "Piazza Cisterna" the heart

Today is July 4th, Anna's birthday and also Independence Day in the United States (today we have some problems with those who govern overseas, but it remains a reference nation also for what it has represented, for better or for worse, for entire generations). We celebrate with a local classic, the tour

Arrived in Pettinengo, in the Biella area, a short tour through the hamlets and beech woods above Pettinenengo, Camandona, Mosso S.Maria. Places not very solitary, little frequented and little known. Oh well... the home cellar that is worth it at almost two slips.... 😊😊😊

It had been a while since I last checked on the "condominium" in Castiglione d'Adda. The tenants are all in excellent health. The young ones, now weaned, are almost indistinguishable from the adults. Another two / three months together, depending on how the summer season goes, and then they will separate

Back from Valtellina, in the Po Valley heatwave (it was hot there too but obviously much drier, without humidity), usual ride to Pizzighettone, with some of its symbolic "monuments": Church of S.Pietro (which is the most recent anyway (18th century), Torre del Guado (where Francesco I King of France

Every now and then I go back up to see if "everything is still intact". A somewhat cryptic title to remind me of a valley and places to which I am particularly attached. I was 17 years old (55 years ago) when I first came up to climb at Sasso Remenno and then in Val di Mello. Back then there was no one

A return to Crotto d’Angri after some time. The Crotto d’Angri in the locality of the same name is a historic "alpine trattoria" for this valley, the valley of the Livo river. The small village is reached by a dirt road from Livo, the last village in the valley. From here, a beautiful path begins that

Arrived in the early afternoon in Cercino on the Costiera dei Cech, the usual "inaugural" little tour to the home pasture, Alpe La Piazza. I call it home pasture even though "formally" it is the pasture of Cino, the nearby village, where the climb begins just outside the inhabited area. They are the

Komoot does not allow uploading short videos, so I limit myself to uploading a photo from my phone with my music, which I listen to when I pass through the sunny villages of the lowlands. I would also have a speaker to connect, but then it might have more of an effect like: "ladies, the umbrella man
