Italy Coast to Coast: Tirreno-Adriatico

August 27-September 3, 2023

The coast to coast adventure that takes you through enchanting villages and ancient places, on a route of nearly 500km along roads designed by nature and the history that unites two seas. "Tirreno Adriatico" is also the name of one of the most traditional and historical Italian road stage races, that has taken place annually for the past 60 years! Years that seem like nothing compared to the thousand-year old Etruscan roads of Pitigliano or the 3000-year history of Orvieto, Assisi, and Norcia. These towns are also famous for being the birthplaces of San Francesco and San Benedetto (protector saint of Europe), two historical figures that made their mark from the medieval times to today! Your Bianchi road rental bike will be the perfect companion to live this tour fully and at the perfect pace, as you continually ride through momentous and natural beauty all the while enjoying traditional cuisine, both experiences which make Italy so special.
