English The land of champions For everyone in Romagna, cycling is like a religion. Amateurs, professionals and enthusiasts, not a single weekend goes by without us getting on our bikes and cycling along the roads of this land that is so generous, with its hills and long expanses on which to ride freely, enjoying the fragrances of the sea on the horizon. Living as if we were always on holiday, cycling along ever-changing itineraries, from the more gruelling that take all day, to the easier ones that take just a few hours. Surrounded by an ever-changing landscape that spans from the tranquil countryside near Ferrara to the relaxing coastal stretch, to the gentle hills near Rimini and the steep slopes of the Apennines near Forlì. Passion for cycling: that’s what made Marco Pantani the Pirate, one of the sport’s unforgettable champions. He helped us dream big and is still sorely missed. Here, throughout the year, professionals and enthusiasts train to compete in the top competitions and fight it out in long- distance races, like the legendary Nove Colli. These events have now become a veritable institution in Romagna, thanks also to the presence of hundreds of sports clubs that help train talented new cyclists. Along the roads of Romagna, as light as the wind, cycling between the coast and the hills, through nature and history, discovering a territory that is like an oil painting; this is the land of champions. Two thousand years of history With our feet in the sand Every town has a castle The land of kings and emperors. It was in the very heart of Romagna that the New Roman Empire was born, when Julius Caesar, the de facto emperor, crossed the Rubicon River, creating a net division between history up to then, and what was to follow. In this sun-kissed land, the Roman Empire with a “western flavour” set its roots. Among findings and traces of ancient architecture we still perceive the echo of the splendour of the capital Ravenna and of a Rimini that was the hub of commerce and connections with Rome, along which remarkable “flowers” and great authors of Latin literature were born: Sarsina, the land of the great poet and playwright Titus Maccius Plautus, and Bagno di Romagna, a place where to this day the spa waters are synonymous with beauty and relaxation. With over 22 centuries of history, what is an international tourist destination today, the town that was once called Ariminum was the junction of important roads that linked the north to the centre of Italy. Rimini was, in fact, the protagonist of two great works commissioned by the Senate in Rome, two consular roads: the via Flaminia and the via Emilia. The first one connects Rome to Rimini, and ends at the Arch of Augustus. While the via Emilia starts at Tiberius Bridge and extends as far as Piacenza for 100 km, crossing the greatest wonders of the region. “Let us advance whither the prodigies of the gods and the injustice of our enemies call us. Let the die be cast!” Gaius Julius Caesar A merry-go-round everyone loves to get on, from the very young to the young at heart: the Riviera of Romagna has always meant fun, relaxation and experiences that fuel the emotions. A land of castles and fortresses, that was exposed to attacks which it had to fend off during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, everything in Romagna speaks of the greatness of the Malatesta Dynasty, of the Lords of Faenza and Forlì, and of ‘Delizie’, the Estense villas. It is an expanse of castles that preserves the memories of our land, and of the people who made it great. Wars and revolts, feuds and alliances: from mediaeval times to the Renaissance, Romagna was the protagonist of many bloody attacks and defensive strategies. Towers, fortresses and impressive castles tower over the land, and are the timeless testament of an area that was fought over, which exudes the allure of thousands of years of history.

The land of champions

For everyone in Romagna, cycling is like a religion. Amateurs, professionals and enthusiasts, not a single weekend goes by without us getting on our bikes and cycling along the roads of this land that is so generous, with its hills and long expanses on which to ride freely, enjoying the fragrances of the sea on the horizon.

Living as if we were always on holiday, cycling along ever-changing itineraries, from the more gruelling that take all day, to the easier ones that take just a few hours. Surrounded by an ever-changing landscape that spans from the tranquil countryside near Ferrara to the relaxing coastal stretch, to the gentle hills near Rimini and the steep slopes of the Apennines near Forlì.

Passion for cycling: that’s what made Marco Pantani the Pirate, one of the sport’s unforgettable champions. He helped us dream big and is still sorely missed. Here, throughout the year, professionals and enthusiasts train to compete in the top competitions and fight it out in long-distance races, like the legendary Nove Colli. These events have now become a veritable institution in Romagna, thanks also to the presence of hundreds of sports clubs that help train talented new cyclists.

Along the roads of Romagna, as light as the wind, cycling between the coast and the hills, through nature and history, discovering a territorythat is like an oil painting; this is the land of champions.

Two thousand years of history

With our feet in the sand

Every townhas a castle

The land of kings and emperors. It was in the very heart of Romagna that the New Roman Empire was born, when Julius Caesar, the de facto emperor,crossed the Rubicon River, creating a net division between history up to then, and what was to follow.
