Italy Outdoors – Running Scenery Cervia

Our Paolo Venturini, an ultra trail runner, runs along paths through the southern part of the Comacchio national wetlands park discovering the beaches, bio-diversity and the pine trees along its shores. He ends the tour in the famous salt farms of Cervia  with an interesting explanation of why sweet salt is today’s gold.
Milan To Norcia (Umbria) By Bike
This time Michele brings us to a long trip betwwen Milan and Norcia in Umbria. His goal is to cycle to areas that have been hit by the terrible earthquakes in August and October 2016. Michele will not show destroyed houses or devastated areas; on the contrary through his trip you will discover the beauty of this region. Michele’s trip brings you through historical cities such as Mantova, Ferrara or Cattolica and natural parks such as the Delta del Po. After having reached the Adriatic coast, he crosses the Apennines cycling through very beautiful landscapes.
