Piccola Cassia

Road and paths

Apennines< 30 Km from Bologna

Already used in Roman times to reach the central part of the Po Valley from Pistoia towards Modena and Bologna, it became a Lombardic road in the Early Middle Ages and connected to the Via Francigena leading to Rome. The itinerary can be covered by bike in 2 or more days and combines culture, spirituality and good food and wine: these are the territories which produce excellent products such as Parmigiano Reggiano, typical Modena and Bologna cured meats and Pignoletto wine.
