E1 Bergamo–Brescia

Extinguished Countries – Republic of Venice Tour

A few kilometres from Milan, in present-day Lombardy, is the most western point the Serenissima ever reached: in the surroundings of Bergamo, where Venice suffered one of its heaviest defeats. Our starting point is Bergamo, the most western point in the Republic of Venice and our destination is Brescia. A team of FIAB – Federazione Italiana Ambiente e Bicicletta joins us and leads us all the way.
ITINERARY – We cycle from Bergamo to the Lake d'Iseo. We stop for a coffee on the bridge between Sarnico and Paratico, and then we cross Franciacorta region and reach Brescia.
