An itinerary not very long, yet varied with beautiful landscapes. Departure from the capital of ceramic tiles, Faenza. After only a few kilometers, you will find yourself on the Romagna hills, amidst hectares of silence\u2026 The itinerary unwinds along trafficless roads, slightly uphill – with only very few exceptions you can manage with a little extra effort. First, you cross the Parco della Vena del Gesso Romagnola<\/strong>, one of the most important geological formations of the Apennines between Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you get to Brisighella, take a walk through the medieval narrow streets of the old village where ancient inns and shops are still open. There is the famous \u201cVia degli Asini\u201d (Donkey street), an elevated street taking day light from a number of arch windows. Just outside the center, you can visit the Open-air Olive Oil Museum<\/strong> or enjoy some oil tasting inside the Cooperativa Agricola Brisighellese<\/strong> that groups several local olive oil producers. <\/span>Once you leave Brisighella and the Valley of Lamone River, you will get back crossing the countryside around Faenza. The itinerary is nearly never flat, but it is so much more interesting, with a new scenery after each bend.<\/span><\/p>\n
