Beautiful, treacherous and nasty climb! A classic of the nine hills! You read the average and say "rideable". Then you find yourself on a road not well maintained, all in the sun and with rips in this case over 15!!!!! Beautiful all the same! You have to dose your energy and save your strength

Salita bella, insidiosa e cattiva! Un classico dei colli della nove colli! Leggi la media e dici "pedalabile". Poi ti ritrovi su una strada non tenuta bene, tutta al sole e con strapponi in questo caso oltre il 15!!!!! Bellissima lo stesso! Bisogna dosare le energie e risparmiare le forze

_One of the most famous climbs in the hills of this area. Present in all editions of the GF 9 colli. Very tough, especially the last kilometre where it touches slopes of 18％.
The surface, the asphalt, could be better maintained considering that it has always been part of the GF9C.

_Una delle salite più famose delle colline di questa zona. Presente in tutte le edizioni della GF 9 colli. Molto dura, specialmente l'ultimo km dove tocca pendenze al 18％.
Il fondo, l'asfalto, potrebbe essere più curato se si considerà che fa parte da sempre della GF9C.

Fatto durante l'edizione della nove colli del 2023, quella di settembre rimandata per l'alluvione con percorso modificato a causa delle strade franate.
Tempo pessimo, pioggia e nebbia, salita molto dura che ti suggerisce di mollare ma se la testa tieni la porti a termine con gran soddisfazione, alla fine si fa

The strongest difficulty during the Nove Colli race. 1 km very hard towards the end of the route, starting from the two hairpin bends. Up to 18％ steep. And it comes after 100 km of racing.
