Stage 12
Modena-Maranello
Leaving Modena we take the bicycle path built on the old Modena – Vignola railway, leaving it when it crosses a well-marked nature trail that bends south toward the mountains. Our route is just east of the route of the eighteenth-century Via Vandelli, a road that the Duke of Modena had built to connect the capital of the duchy with the Tyrrhenian Sea; today the old road is very busy, so we have adopted an alternative, quiet and safe, that goes up a stream for a few kilometers, until it leaves it to reach the world-famous motor city, Maranello, where Ferrari has several factories, and pilgrims can find hospitality and all kinds of services.
