The S1 rating isn't appropriate. I'd rate it S2. Beautiful stone passages.

The historic center of Toirano is a labyrinth of cobbled alleys and stone stairways winding between stone houses. Its medieval origins are evident in its structure and materials. Strolling through its narrow streets, you can admire arches, doorways, and remains of the ancient walls surrounding the village. The heart of the town is the Church of San Martino di Tours, which dates back to the 13th century, although it has been remodeled over time. Another attraction is the Clock Tower, once part of the village's defense system.

The last section is the one that requires the best riding technique. Since I've already had a long day, I prefer to skip it and meet up with my tireless companions down at the little church 😁
