Overview
This tour allows you to explore the famous ceramics town of Faenza, medieval villages such as Brisighella and Dozza, built by the Medici family to protect the northern flank of Tuscany in 1564. Start in Ravenna once the capital of the Western Roman Empire and cycle through Romagna region all the way to Bologna, the culinary capital of Italy. Easy, flat rides and more serious hill rides make for a cycling paradise through the heartland of homemade pasta, so don’t wait until you arrive to Bologna to delight your culinary taste buds with freshly made “tagliatelle”, “lasagna”, “ravioli” and more, all washed down with local Sangiovese wine.This itinerary has two nights in Faenza, our base of operations in Italy! Please feel free to stop by and say hello – ask us for directions and we will be happy to show you the way to our office.
