Piacenza

Piacenza sits on the flat Po River plain in Emilia-Romagna, making it ideal for cycling on quiet regional roads and gravel tracks through the Padana Valley. The Placentia Half Marathon and Caminada de Casal are the main running events; for cycling, PolimiRide and Le Vie del Latte Gravel tap into the network of farm roads and drainage canal paths that crisscross the Piacenza province. Serious gravel cyclists tackle the 325km Gravel Valpadana, which stitches together the entire valley on dirt and paved lanes with almost no climbing.
