What can be said that hasn't already been said? It's beautiful to climb up, reach the summit and enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view, from the Adriatic to the Sibillini, Marche, Tuscany, Umbria and Emilia Romagna. It's beautiful to descend, the road is in good condition and doesn't require particular acrobatic "skills". Not to be missed

Piobbico is a beautiful town in the province of Pesaro Urbino with about 1800 inhabitants. It is located in a valley between Monte Nerone and Monte Montiego and stands right at the confluence of two rivers: the Biscubio and the Candigliano. Piobbico is also known as the Land of the Ugly, due to the National Association of the Ugly, founded at the end of the 19th century to allow young women from Piobbico to find a husband; it currently has about 30,000 members and every year, on the first Sunday of September, the World Festival of the Ugly takes place. The festival is famous throughout central Italy and attracts a very large number of people each year.

Departing from the Cagli camper area, we begin along the ancient aqueduct trail and for over 6 km it's all uphill, without a moment's respite, but on perfectly passable and safe trails. At the top of Mount Petrano, 1100m above sea level, the view is spectacular; the village at the summit is uninhabited because it's a summer tourist destination. We returned the same way we came. Total time, including breaks, was approximately 6 hours.
