The Romea Strata follows the ancient routes traveled for centuries by merchants and pilgrims who traveled from Northern Europe down to Rome. It is one of Europe's great routes: over 4,700 km through seven countries and 51 UNESCO sites, a thread of history that crosses Italy for about 1,400 km, from Tarvisio to St. Peter's Basilica, passing through the Alps, Venetian villages, Emilian cities of art, the Apennines, the hills of Tuscany, and the woods of Tuscia. It is not just an itinerary: it is a journey where landscapes, communities, and traditions interact with each other. Cycling it means experiencing an extraordinary adventure: 30 days on a bike, over 1,200 km and 13,000 meters of elevation gain, from the heart of the Alps to Rome. The landscape changes kilometer after kilometer: silent woods, cultivated hills, rivers, timeless villages. Each stage tells a story, each climb is a conquest, each descent a reward. A great cycling tour along secondary roads and authentic encounters, where the bike becomes the perfect way to cross Italy at a leisurely pace. And when you finally enter Rome, after weeks on the road, the emotion has the flavor of an achievement: not just a crossing, but a profound journey into the Bel Paese and into yourself.
