Autumn

The route of the Agno Valley is particularly dedicated to those who love beautiful landscapes but there are still opportunities of cultural enrichment thanks to the many Venetian Villas you meet along the way. 

For the enthusiasts of moto-tourism the hills of the Treviso Marca are the ideal setting for experiencing intense emotions, along a continuous succession of curves, immersed in the beauty of the landscape and dominated by the presence of Prosecco vineyards. 

For fans of moto-tourism the mountain routes can be incredibly satisfying, with the mountain roads and hairpin bends which enhance the pleasure of the rider and the stunning landscapes which open up unexpectedly, letting you enjoy a sense of peace and freedom.

Located in the East of the Polesine area, the Po Delta features branched rivers, valleys and lagoons across the vast territory overlooking the Adriatic Sea in the province of Rovigo. The area is one of the largest wetlands in Europe and the Mediterranean and is dominated by an unspoilt natural reserve - 120 square kilometres of the Po Delta Veneto Regional Park. 

In the first half of the sixteen century the town of Bovolone (in the province of Verona) became an important pilgrimage destination as a result of the strong popular devotion to a marble statue of the Madonna and Jesus child on a throne (both wearing a belted tunic thus giving this name to the Shrine). 

According to historical chronicles, there were so many votes, offerings and votive panels donated to the Virgin that it was decided to build a church, completed in 1650 and known from then on as the Shrine of the Madonna of the Belt.

In the Padua area Christianity and the enormous devotion of Paduans is testified to by an invaluable religious architecture.

This easy route starts from Praciadelàn, just above the village of Calalzo di Cadore, and follows the CAI path no. 255 (which is accessible for off-road vehicles in summer). The route goes up the long scree slope of Val d'Oten, a long valley that separates the Marmarole mountain chain from the imposing Antelao massif, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

At the foot of the Marmolada mountain, in the small hamlet of Santa Maria delle Grazie in the Rocca Pietore area, there is a Marian shrine originally dating back to 1693 which is run today by the Friars Minor. The current building was erected since 1947 and was officially consecrated in 1965. The shrine has reached such a level of fame over the years that today it can be considered as the most popular destination for Marian devotion in the Dolomite valleys.

Suspended between the ground and the sky, clinging to the rocky wall of Mount Baldo, the charming Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Crown is a sacred site made beautiful by both its spiritual character and the originality of the surrounding landscape. The Sanctuary, belonging to the Diocese of Verona, is in Spiazzi, a hamlet of Ferrara di Monte Baldo.
