Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Highlight • Settlement

It is a small mountain center located in a panoramic, quiet and sunny position, immersed in nature among the green pine forests and chestnut woods, on a promontory between the valley of the Curiasca torrent and the slopes of Mount S. Agostino, which dominates the view of the 'high Val Trebbia in the province of Piacenza.

Sella dei Generali

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Generali saddle is a plateau that offers a magnificent view of the Trebbia valley and the Nure valley. This pass is essentially made up of two passages. The first is located on the ridge between the Trebbia and Nure valleys, while the second is a few hundred meters away, separating the Perino torrent valley from the Nure torrent valley. This place offers a truly splendid view of the Apennines. Beauty is truly magical.

Sella dei Generali

Highlight • Mountain Pass

I prefer the climb from the Perino side for the simple fact that the descent towards Bobbio has a very well-kept asphalt. The climb is quite challenging, my Garmin gave me peaks even at 13%.

The Gobbo bridge, also known as the Old Bridge or Devil's Bridge, is an ancient bridge characterized by an irregular profile that crosses the Trebbia river. With a length of 273 meters, this bridge was called the Gobbo bridge due to its eleven unequal arches, placed at different heights. Although the exact date of construction is not known, it is assumed that the bridge dates back to Roman times, probably built after the Roman conquest of the Ligurian-Celtic settlement that stood in that area.

An ancient legend is linked to the construction of the bridge: it is said that the devil contacted San Colombano, offering to build the bridge in a single night, in exchange for the first mortal soul to cross it. The saint accepted the offer. During the night, the devil called some little devils who helped him build the bridge, supporting the vaults with their own strength. These demons varied in height, which led to the creation of differently sized arches in the bridge. At dawn, the devil showed up at the end of the bridge to collect his "reward". Saint Columbanus sent a little dog to the devil as payment. Deceived, the devil returned to hell, but not before kicking his creation, causing the tilt that gives the bridge its characteristic "hunchback" appearance.
