Lake Suviana

Highlight • Lake

The Lake Suviana is the largest artificial basin in the metropolitan city of Bologna and one of the largest in Emilia-Romagna. Located in the Bolognese Apennines at about 400 meters above sea level, it was formed in the early 1930s following the construction of a 90-meter-high dam for hydroelectric power generation. Today it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region for relaxation, swimming, and outdoor activities.

Passo della Collina

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Passo della Collina, also known as Passo della Porretta, is an Apennine pass of notable historical importance. It is located at an altitude of 932 meters above sea level, straddling the valleys of the Limentra di Sambuca, a tributary of the Reno river, and the Ombrone Pistoiese basin, a tributary of the Arno river.

It is said that during the Second Punic War Hannibal also passed through here, together with his famous elephants, before the Battle of Trasimeno, in 217 BC.

San Luca Ascent

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca can be reached via this very steep road, the most direct route from Porta Saragozza (south-west of Bologna) to Colle della Guardia. On the left, a very long and fascinating portico winds its way up the hill. From the Arco del Meloncello, the beginning of the climb, the road climbs up, but the toughest point is the famous Orfanelle curve, where a female orphanage was active from 1930 to 1994. Here the maximum gradient reaches 24%.

This climb towards San Luca has been part of the final circuit of the Giro dell'Emilia for years, an important race for professionals and women.
