INSPIRED FOR TUBE Special green<br />

from Venice to Turin<br />

north or from the south to gems like Mantova, Colorno,<br />

Sabbioneta, Reggio Emilia, Ostiglia, Brescello<br />

and many other destinations that are fascinating in<br />

terms of culture and traditions. There is so much to<br />

see and know: abbeys, cathedrals, farms, monasteries,<br />

pumping stations, historical and modern bridges,<br />

monuments, and historical memories of our country.<br />

More than 266 km (about 40% of the track) of Ven-<br />

To then run through parks and protected areas: another<br />

extraordinary opportunity that is "ready to use".<br />

A limited cost project<br />

About 15% of the cycle track path, that is 102 km,<br />

already exists and it is provided with appropriate<br />

safety standards. Other 284 km could be converted<br />

into a cycle track just by changing the regulations<br />

related to the use of banks, local roads, paths<br />

or roads that are no longer in use and a further 148<br />

km require small maintenance or readjustment<br />

works. Only 145 km, which today are not <strong>for</strong> cyclists,<br />

would require a heavier investment. Among<br />

the issues to be addressed, is the bridge crossings<br />

over the river Po and its 44 tributaries. To do so, it<br />

would be sufficient to build cantilever brackets like<br />

those built <strong>for</strong> the cycle track over the bridge of Piacenza.<br />

Another issue that needs to be addressed<br />

is that of barriers: along the way, you come across<br />

102 barriers that often do not allow to close the<br />

track loop. But even in this case, just more simple<br />

regulations <strong>for</strong> use of the banks or local roads would<br />

be sufficient.<br />

ities in Cantù and Levico, and suggest several pleasant stop-overs.<br />
