Discover the Arrival Fucecchio Fucecchio is in the province of Florence and has a population of twenty thousand inhabitants. The town’s origins are closely tied to those of the Cadolingi, a powerful family from Pistoia. The town suffered terrible damaged from bombing during WWII. History The origins of Fucecchio date back to the year one thousand when the Cadolingi counts built the Salamarzana castle here to guard the bridge over the Arno river, which allowed numerous pilgrims to pass along Via Francigena. Strategically located at the crossroad of land and water routes, Fucecchio had a remarkable development during the Middle Ages, and later between the 17th and 18th centuries. It suffered damaged during the Second World War, and in the summer of 1944 the retreating German army massacred 175 unarmed civilians in nearby Padule. In the post-war period, the town has had a remarkable industrial development. Gastronomy Here in Fucecchio, the famous Tuscan cuisine is well represented with many wild game dishes. Typical carnival sweets are made with rice and sugar, while the Tuscan “Schiacciata” is a sweet bread produced for Easter. Places of Interest The abbey church of San Salvatore, restored between the 16th and 18th centuries, and the fortress complex built by the Florentines in the 14th century both have medieval origins. Remarkable artistic and archaeological collections are preserved in the museum located in the Renaissance Corsini Palazzo, surrounded by a large park. Fucecchio is also the birthplace of the Italian journalist, essayist, historian and playwright, Indro Montanelli, who established a foundation here (Fondazione Montanelli Bassi) which houses documents, books, and numerous testimonies of his life and professional activity. Nearby is the Medici bridge in Cappiano (16th century), and the vast natural area of the Padule di Fucecchio with striking views of rare beauty.

Discover the Departure Bologna A natural crossroads in Italy and Europe, Bologna is rich in tradition, art, culture and food. An ancient University seat, the city beats at the heart of Italy under the shade of its famous towers, preserving the charm of its Medieval centre recognised by UNESCO as the largest and best preserved in the world with its 40 km of porticoes and over 50 museums. It is located in the Motor Valley, the location of Ducati, Lamborghini and the Imola racing circuit and, in 2006, it was declared by UNESCO “Creative City of Music” thanks to its musical excellence in the past and the wealth of current musicians. Gastronomy Bologna is the capital of good food par excellence: its fame started in Medieval university colleges and grew through trade in the modern age. Nowadays, strolling around the city’s alleyways, we breathe in the same cheerful atmosphere of the taverns of the past that safeguard the city’s culinary secrets. Markets and festivals also pass on traditional recipes because the culture of eating well has always been a distinctive trait of Bologna and its friendly inhabitants who love the pleasures of the table. Here are a few typical dishes: tagliatelle with Bolognaise ragù, tortellini, lasagne, mixed fried platter Bologna-style, breaded cutlet Bologna-style, rice tart. Places of Interest The journey to discover Bologna starts in Piazza Maggiore, the historic soul of the city overlooked by ancient buildings such as Palazzo Re Enzo, Palazzo dei Notai and Palazzo d’Accursio. The fountain of Neptune dominates the square of the same name. It is a monumental piece of work by sculptor Giambologna and rises majestically opposite Sala Borsa, a building that encompasses the ruins of the Roman city. The historic Palazzo dell’Archiginnasio definitely deserves a visit, home to the Anatomical Theatre, the original location of the oldest University in the West founded in 1088, as well as the Basilica of San Petronio, which houses the biggest sundial in the world. On strolling around the porticoes and squares, you come across the two famous Towers: the Asinelli tower soars upward together with the Garisenda tower from which the main streets radiate.

Stage 2 Bologna > Fucecchio The stage is rolling. The route starts uphill, crosses the Apennines and then takes a long descent to Prato. Next, a succession of sharper or gentler ascents and descents, including the Montalbano (Castra) categorised climb, leads to the final kilometres, raced on undulating and twisting roads. Final kilometres The final 4 km start on narrow urban roads, with sharp bends, followed by broad, straight avenues, with a few roundabouts in-between. The home straight (900 m) is on 7 m wide asphalt road.

It's a great news for a city like Taranto, with all the problems caused by ILVA, you know. It's a bit difficult for me wrote in english for me but it's a social-economic option like alternative for a steel based economy. It's a tentative to give at the citzenship new (or almost new) place for do sport.

Well, Sho was a bit unlucky too... he had some mechanical problem

Probabily they will say that it isn't fair that a rider can be eliminated after only 8km

I'm almost sure that they will improve the time limit becouse Mareczko is at risk too

After a meeting between Rinaldo Mellucci (major of Taranto), Elio Sannicandro, Michele Barbone (presidente FederDanza), Angelo Cito (FITApresident and in the board of WTF) and Malagò (CONI president and CIO member) Italy decide to start a project for host the 2025 Mediterranean Games in Taranto
