Straight like a tagliatella!
Ladies and gentlemen
to your chariots!
Pardon, in the saddle!
Emilia-Romagna lowlands, tagliatelle and old stations.
60 km of lowland, 60 km of the pure essence of Emilia. A straightforward, undemanding route that crosses a land of nihilists and empiricists, eccentrics and artists, of cordial and angry characters like the moody, Naïve painters of the lowlands who depict the plain. This region is a sort of Italy in miniature, a “super-Italy”. (Edmondo Berselli, Quel gran pezzo dell’Emilia).

The final route, which will be completed in the coming years, will pass through Calderara di Reno, the wooded area north of the Airport, and the natural corridor of the Reno River.
