Alessandro Fantini Mural on the Via Verde dei Trabocchi

Highlight • Monument

The mural is located along the Trabocchi cycle path and was painted on the occasion of the time trial of the 1st stage of the 2023 Giro d'Italia.

Born in Fossacesia on 1 January 1932. Died in Trier (Germany) on 5 May 1961, following a fall at the end of the fourth stage of the Tour of Germany. Sprinter. Tall m. 1.69 per kg 66. Professional from 1955 to 1961 with 15 victories. The classic short and explosive sprinter, with a remarkable combativeness, far from today's version of sprinters. The friendly "Sandrino" from Abruzzo, who moved to Brescia, first for military service and then for marriage, was also admired for the temperament with which he sought victories, attacking repeatedly and then beating the small groups of opponents who they fell out with him. It was the big stage races that brought him to the fore: he won seven stages in the Giro d'Italia (and wore the Maglia Rosa for nine days), two in the Giro d'Italia and three in Germany, one in the Moped Championship. Only one classic, the Milano-Vignola '60, with Gazzola, while previously he had always raced for Atala. The fall at the finish line of the Trier stage, in the Tour of Germany '61 (he had won in Kellminens two days earlier), caused him to fracture his skull and after two days he died, leaving his wife and daughter in despair, as well as an unfinished appreciable career.
All his victories.
1955: Acqui Terme stage (Giro d'Italia); Trieste stage (Giro d'Italia); Millau stage (Tour de France); Rome stop (Criterium Nations). 1956: Genoa stage (Giro d'Italia); Salice Terme stage (Giro d'Italia); Angers stage (Tour de France). 1957: Rieti stage (Motorcycle GP); Catholic stage (Giro d'Italia); Como stage (Giro d'Italia). 1959: San Pellegrino stage (Giro d'Italia). 1960: Munster stage (Tour of Germany); Ludwigshafen stage (Tour of Germany); Milan-Vignola. 1961: Kellminens stage (Tour of Germany).

Punta dell'Acquabella Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Punta di Acquabella reserve extends for 28 hectares along the Adriatic coast. Inside, wild and isolated, is the beach of Punta Acquabella, where the crystalline sea is framed by high cliffs covered in vegetation. There is also a pine forest with paths to discover and which offers shade for moments of relaxation.

Punta dell'Acquabella Beach

Highlight • Beach

With such a name, the Punta dell'Acquabella beach already says it all. This cove is in fact located in a crystalline and uncontaminated stretch of sea which is part of the homonymous nature reserve. A few meters from the beach stands the Borgo dell’Acquabella, which until the 1970s was a lively fishing village and is now uninhabited.

Via Verde dei Trabocchi

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Here the Adriatic Cycle Route runs directly by the sea over a bridge and through a tunnel. The colors are just gorgeous! In general, I recommend bringing enough sun protection with you when you are on this bike path.

Trabocco on the Trabocchi Coast

Highlight • Structure

The trabocco or travocco is an imposing construction made of Aleppo pine wood typical of the areas of the middle Adriatic, moldable, capable of withstanding the saltiness and the strong gusts of the mistral that beat the Adriatic. Consisting of a platform jutting out into the sea anchored to the rock by large trunks from which two or more long arms, called antennas, stretch out, suspended a few meters from the water, which support a huge tight-meshed network: the "balance". The different characterization of the coastline has defined the distinction of different typologies: this one, the Abruzzo one, is distinguished precisely by being positioned transversely with respect to the coast to which it is connected by walkways.
