Roggiano Road

Highlight • Cycleway

The road that connects Brezzo to Mesenzana passes through Roggiano and is with little traffic and very shaded. It is therefore very pleasant to tackle during a cycling tour, even in summer.

Church of Santa Maria Assunta

Highlight • Religious Site

S. Maria Assunta Church in Porto Valtravaglia
The original church was built between the 11th and 12th centuries.
Later it was extended by two spans by extending the corridor. In 1544 a chapel was added at the behest of the notary Giroldino Porto.
In the second half of the 16th century it was decided to enlarge the church after the number of believers had increased sharply. The bell tower was built by 1596.
In 1925, the pastor at the time, Don Giovanni Pozzi, decided to convert the church into a neo-Romanesque style. The only measures actually carried out, however, were the excessive height of the bell tower and the construction of an entrance to the wall of the side passage.

September 27, 2025,Lago Maggiore: Akklimatisieren! Einrollen?
The rain didn't stop yesterday, so today was only the afternoon when we had time to roll into the autumn cycling week on Lake Maggiore. A short ride. Acclimatization went quite well. Despite only 10°C, we didn't freeze. This was mainly due to the fact that the warm-up on today's short ride didn't take place until the second half. Before …
