Calanchi di Montalbano Jonico
Un grazioso cancelletto separa il borgo antico della città di Montalbano Jonico, denominata dai residenti Terra Vecchia, da una suggestiva immersione nel cuore della Riserva naturale dei Calanchi per valorizzare un luogo unico che racconta come era la vita della Terra milioni di anni fa. Il borgo antico è collegato alla valle del Fiume Agri da una mulattiera (appiett') che attraversano i calanchi della Riserva, un tempo via obbligata per i contadini che quotidianamente si recavano nei propri poderi (giardini). Tra i nudi calanchi, ricchissimi di fossili e accenni di macchia mediterranea, si possono effettuare osservazioni botaniche, geologiche, paleontologiche e storico-culturali. Il sito è stato definito dai massimi esperti un vero museo paleontologico a cielo aperto, costituito da un’immensa quantità e varietà di contenuto fossilifero con ben nove livelli vulcanoclastici, a testimonianza di altrettante e distinte eruzioni vulcaniche. I Calanchi sono costituiti da una successione sedimentaria di età tra 1,2 milioni di anni e circa 640 mila anni che rappresenta l’espressione fisica (le argille) della transizione dal Pleistocene inferiore al Pleistocene medio. Per purezza geologica e di stratificazione i Calanchi di Montalbano Jonico sono stati proposti all’Inqua (International Union for Quaternary Research) per il Chiodo d’oro (golden spyke). Possibile, previa prenotazione, un rientro nel centro abitato con ebike del vicino centro noleggio Ginestrebike. Quest'ultimo offre la possibilità di adibire le sue ebike che le Cargobike di seggiolini ammortizzati a norma. Le Cargobike elettrificate con una capacità di carico fino ad 80kg sono state scelte da Noi per condividere con i Nostri bambini diversamente abili l'esperienza di una escursione in paesaggi incontaminati.
Novello, Monforte, Monchiero and the abandoned Railway
Starting from Novello The e-bike route starts in Novello and descends along the beautiful Ravera road to Monforte d'Alba. The Ravera is my favourite road, a long descent that shows the hills of the Langhe and allows you to see Monforte, Barolo and Novello in the foreground and many other castles and villages in the background. You arrive in the centre of Monforte d'Alba The centre of Monforte is always a pleasant surprise. On the square on the floor you will find many small bars where you can have an aperitif or an ice cream, but I recommend you climb up to the top of the old town to enjoy the view, see the amphitheatre (home of Monforte Jazz) and if you want to pop over to the giant bench. Pass through the hamlet of San Sebastiano From Monforte take the road towards Dogliani. Don't miss a stop at the Briacca, a nice winery that also organises picnics and tastings. The highlight of the route, however, is the road along the coast that takes you to the hamlet of San Sebastiano (full of fantastic views, old farmsteads, small churches, in short the Langa as it once was) and on to Monchiero. The old Bra Ceva railway When you reach Monchiero close your eyes for 2 minutes (the view is horrible, you are in the midst of factories), but once you have crossed the railway bridge you can enter the old Bra-Ceva railway track, recently cleared of brambles and which allows you to avoid the ugly provincial road to reach the Bivio per Novello. If you want to know more about bra-ceva, there is an interesting site you can explore [https://www.ferrovieabbandonate.it/linea_dismessa.php?id=9]. The ascent to Novello via Bricco Neri The ascent to Novello is demanding, but not busy. We take you via the Bricco Neri road, which is a minor road that takes you to the village from a different perspective and without encountering too many cars.

Canelli and Torre dei Contini
A track designed to touch one of the most famous points of Monferrato: the “Torre dei Contini”, a panoramic point of extreme charm. Treat yourself to a visit to this beautiful site and climb to the top of the tower to enjoy a 360 degree view of the surrounding landscapes. How to visit Nizza Monferrato: Nizza is the most important agricultural and commercial center located in the heart of Monferrato area, one of the most famous Italian places of wine production in the world, especially as regards red wines. UNESCO World Heritage Site for its landscape assets and for the Barbera and Nizza DOCG wines, it is the most important center of the province and of the Belbo Valley. In Nizza it is worth taking a stroll through the streets of the center and stopping to admire the Campanon tower, in the town square, the oldest civic tower in the city, incorporated into the Town Hall. The historic center is beautiful, full of typical bars and restaurants where you can taste the specialties of Nicese and Piedmontese cuisine based on Cardo Gobbo, a renowned local product. There will certainly be the possibility of some amazing tasting of red wine at the Regional Winery of Nizza, located near the splendid Palazzo Crova, an admirable example of an 18th century noble town residence. At the end of the tour, the more "daring" will be able to reach the Church of Madonna della Neve, one of the highest points in the town. It can be reached via a very steep climb but the view over the city and the surrounding municipalities is certainly worth the effort. The track starts from the e-bike collection point in Nizza Monferrato and winds through a maze of secondary streets until it reaches the splendid hamlet of Sant’Antonio di Canelli. Canelli and Torre dei Contini: The track will continue after turning near the Church of Sant’Antonio Abate and will make you proceed in the direction of the tower, along a secondary road. During the ride you will always see, in one of the highest points around you, the top of the tower, which will be your reference throughout this part of the route. Near a purple building you can take the dirt road which, on foot, will take you to this particular monument. The Tower, dating back to 1617, delimited the boundaries of the municipality and served as a military lookout. From here, it is possible to have a 360-degree view of the surrounding landscape, glimpsing the perfect meeting between the hills of Monferrato and those of the Langhe Continuing the planned route you will arrive in the center of Canelli. The town of Canelli is a small town of about ten thousand inhabitants that rises near the southernmost border of the Monferrato, a few steps from the province of Cuneo. Canelli is historically divided into two parts: “Il Borgo” and “Villanuova”. The first, further down the valley, is the one that has continued to expand with the passing of time while the second, the oldest Canelli, lies on the slopes of the hill and is still dominated by its castle, today Castello Gancia. The Borgo and Villanuova are connected by one of the historical elements of Canelli: La Sternia. In the lower part of the city, down in the Borgo, from Piazza Amedeo D’Aosta you can take Via Giovanni Battista Giuliani. Continuing on this road and then turning onto Via Gioacchino Rossini, you will find yourself in Piazza San Tommaso. Here you will meet the Church of San Tommaso on the left, from which the square takes its name, and further to the right the Church of the Annunziata. Between the two religious buildings begins the Sternia, a paved pedestrian street whose current name is via Villanuova. The Sternia climbs up the hill, crosses the medieval part of the town, reaches Piazza San Leonardo, home to the church of the same name and that of San Rocco (recognizable because it is completely brick). From here the road continues uphill until it reaches the top, at the foot of what is now Castello Gancia. The Castle of Canelli was the protagonist of a rather troubled history. Presumably born at the beginning of the eleventh century, the Canelli Castle originally had the purpose of defending the roads that led from Asti to Savona, essential for merchant traffic. Subsequently the fortress has witnessed many struggles and battles that have caused repeated destruction and reconstruction, until 1929 when the Castle was purchased by the Gancia family and transformed into a large noble residence. Even today, the castle dominates the town from above and shows the Canellese and visitors its beautiful appearance of an eighteenth-century villa. Unfortunately, as the private home of the Gancia family, the castle cannot be visited, however, at least one passage is required to admire it from the outside. Asti Spumante is the symbol of Canelli and with it are also the places where the wine takes shape. The Underground Cathedrals are located in the Borgo and represent, in a certain sense, the buried counterpart of the town. These were recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2014. We are talking about ancient and incredibly large cellars, where the fine wines of the area are brought to rest and where they develop their peculiarities. The Underground Cathedrals of Canelli belong to four great historic wineries: Bosca, Contratto, Gancia and Coppo. Although in different ways, all 4 companies make their treasures open to the public. Always starting from Piazza Amedeo D’Aosta, take Via Giovanni Battista Giuliani: here you will meet the Contract and Bosca companies. Continuing in the direction of Corso Libertà you reach the door of the Gancia winery. The Coppo winery, on the other hand, can be found in another area of the Borgo, in via Alba. After crossing the industrial area of the city, famous for its large companies of wine making machinery and bottling, secondary streets will take you back to the starting point of the tour in Nizza Monferrato.

Tour obelischi di Roma
Rome is the city with the most obelisks in the world. Obelisks of Egyptian origin arrived in Rome starting from the age of Augustus, when Egypt was under Roman control. In pharaonic times, obelisks were considered solar symbols, placed in front of temple entrances and enriched with commemorative inscriptions. For the Romans, the gigantic basalt stelae acquired symbolic significance as war booty and testimony to imperial power. Roman-made obelisks imitating Egyptian ones, on the other hand, were created during the Domitianic period. Subject to collapses and burial, they were discovered during excavations and erected at strategic points in the city to highlight the new urban layout. We propose an itinerary to discover Rome's most significant obelisks starting from the Pincio, whose obelisk measures 9.247 meters; with its base and star, it exceeds 17 meters. Created by Emperor Hadrian, it was found near the Basilica of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, close to the Aurelian Walls; hence the name Aurelian Obelisk. In 1822, Pope Pius VII had it placed in the Pincio gardens. After a short walk along Viale Trinità dei Monti, we arrive at the Sallustian Obelisk: it measures 13.91 meters and, with its base, reaches 30.45 meters. It was created during the imperial period; the stonemasons who executed the hieroglyphs, copying them from Egyptian originals, inverted some signs. The third stop on our tour is Piazza del Popolo. In the center rises the Flaminian Obelisk, an original Egyptian stele 24 meters high. Created in the 13th century BC, the work was transported to Rome by Augustus in 10 BC. Its original location was in the Circus Maximus; moving it to Piazza del Popolo, the place from which the three streets of the Trident branch out, was a decision by Pope Sixtus V. The next destination, Piazza di Monte Citorio, we take Via di Ripetta to reach, after admiring the Ara Pacis, the Campus Obelisk, in front of Parliament. An Egyptian original, over 21 meters high, it arrived in Rome during the Augustan age. Initially it was placed in the Campus Martius, where it served as a gnomon for an enormous sundial of which a fragment is still visible in the foundations of San Lorenzo in Lucina. The obelisk collapsed due to a fire; Pius VI had it re-erected in its current location in 1792. A few hundred meters and we find ourselves in Piazza della Rotonda, in front of the Pantheon, where we can admire the Macutean Obelisk, an Egyptian obelisk 6.34 meters high that reaches 14.52 meters with its base and cross. Emperor Domitian had it transported to Rome to decorate the temple dedicated to Isis and Serapis in the Campus Martius where it was found in 1373. In 1711, Pope Clement XI had it placed in its current position, on Giacomo della Porta's fountain. Behind the Pantheon, in Piazza della Minerva, stands the smallest Egyptian obelisk in the city, the Minervan Obelisk. Just 5.47 meters high, with its base, small elephant and cross it exceeds 12 meters. Dating back to the 6th century BC, in 1667, the obelisk was erected in front of the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, near whose convent it had been found, by order of Pope Alexander VII. Gian Lorenzo Bernini took care of the installation, placing the stele on the small elephant and base that he designed. In the center of Piazza Navona stands the Agonal Obelisk. Dating back to the time of Emperor Domitian, it is 16.53 meters high. Initially positioned in Albano, in 311, Maxentius wanted it for his villa on the Via Appia Antica. It was only in 1651, during the pontificate of Pope Innocent X, that Bernini placed it atop the Fountain of the Four Rivers. In St. Peter's Square, we can admire the Vatican Obelisk. Of Egyptian origin, it is 25.5 meters high and reaches 40 meters with its base and cross. It has no carved hieroglyphs and is the only obelisk that has always remained standing. Brought to Rome by Caligula in 37 BC to embellish Nero's Circus, it was located in the area of the current sacristy of the Basilica. In 1586, it was erected in the center of the square by Sixtus V. The next destination is Santa Maria Maggiore. In front of the basilica's apse rises the Esquiline Obelisk. Of Roman origin, it is over 14 meters high; the base and cross bring it to 25.53 meters. It was created by order of Diocletian and placed, together with its twin the Quirinal Obelisk, at the entrance to the Mausoleum of Augustus. It was discovered in 1527 and, in 1587, Pope Sixtus V had it erected in its current location by Domenico Fontana. Via Merulana separates us from the last stop: Piazza di San Giovanni in Laterano. The Lateran Obelisk, of Egyptian origin, is the tallest monolithic obelisk in the world: it rises 32.18 meters. Created in the 15th century BC, it is therefore also the oldest in Rome. It arrived in the city in 357 by order of Emperor Constantius II and was initially placed in the Circus Maximus, where the Flaminian Obelisk was already located. It remained buried until 1587, when it was found in three pieces. In 1588, it was positioned in Piazza San Giovanni, in front of the rear entrance of the Cathedral of Rome.

Sport, turismo, natura, passione per la promozione ecosostenibile del territorio, in un percorso in mountain bike che unisce, nell’amore per la Sardegna, le zone interne con quelle costiere. Si parte dal paesino Capitale della Barbagia Belvì, passando per i territori Mandrolisai, Sarcidano, Marmilla, Trexenta, Gerrei, Sarrabus, Campidano e Poetto prima del rientro e arrivo a Belvì. In sella alle e-bike noleggiate dalla Nostra associazione o alle proprie mountain bike su tre distanze da 100, 200 e 300 chilometri, che i partecipanti potranno percorrere in modo agonistico oppure turistico. La formula è sempre quella che tra avventura e sport, montagna e mare, ha sancito il successo nelle quattro edizioni precedenti: il percorso scelto non sarà segnalato e si dovrà scoprire inoltrandosi tra strade sterrate, mulattiere, sentieri, boschi di castagno, pascoli, leccete e praterie in quota, esclusivamente seguendo la traccia GPS che l'organizzazione consegnerà alla partenza oppure qualche giorno prima per potersi pianificare l'avventura. L'idea è sempre stata quella di un percorso che dalla montagna andasse a collegarsi con il mare. Il messaggio, sia in chiave sportiva che turistica e naturalistica è quello di valorizzare e far scoprire ai partecipanti tutte le zone della nostra isola in modo sostenibile. La scelta di Cagliari non è stata casuale. Questo ponte sportivo tra centro Sardegna e mare rappresenta un tassello importante delle iniziative a carattere sportivo sia in campo professionistico che dilettantistico ed amatoriale.
