Italy is emblematic of the Mediterranean. Its long arm juts out into the sea towards the African continent. The Romans brought together the whole region and put their capital at the centre of the world. They exported their way of life wherever they went. It shaped not just the history of the region, but also the different ways of living in Italy today. This is true as much for architecture, as for culinary and religious influence. EuroVelo 8 dissects northern Italy from east to west, and a cycle trip will allow you to get a real understanding of this region. EuroVelo 8 in Italy is based on the Bicitalia 2 Po Cycle Route and on the Bicitalia 6 Adriatic Cycle Route from the Po delta to the balkan border.
