In the Collio around Gorizia, in Friuli, the white roads climb among the rows of Ribolla and the markers of the old Slovenian border. It's a refined vineyard hill country, famous for its white wines, yet strangely empty: a gravel paradise that mass tourism ignores.

In the Friulian lowlands, between Palmanova and Marano Lagunare, the embankments of a spring-fed river lead to a wild lagoon of herons and reed beds. They remain in the shadow of Grado and Lignano, and for this reason here you cycle almost alone.

Between Piacenza and the Ligurian Apennines, the Val Trebbia traces the meanders of the river that tradition claims Hemingway called the most beautiful valley in the world. Off the beaten track of Emilian tourism, it remains a green, silent valley of Apennine villages.

In the Apennines between Faenza and Imola hides the Vena del Gesso, a long ridge of white gypsum cliffs riddled with sinkholes and caves. Quiet secondary roads cross a karst landscape unique in Italy, still ignored by tourism.

In the Po Delta near Ferrara, the embankments wind among brackish lagoons and old salt pans where thousands of flamingos pause on their migrations. Birdwatching by bicycle in the seasons when the plain lies deserted and silent.

In the province of Lucca, the Garfagnana is a green valley floor squeezed between the Apuan Alps and the Apennines, authentic Tuscan mountain country a few kilometres from the crowded Versilia. Few pedal here: those seeking postcard Tuscany go elsewhere, and this valley stays quiet.

In the Valnerina, Umbria, the old Spoleto-Norcia railway is today a spectacular greenway of tunnels and viaducts in the mountains. A masterpiece of early 20th-century engineering, it stays little visited even after the 2016 earthquake: those seeking the famous Umbria go to Assisi and Perugia.

In the Marche region, the Esino valley links the Frasassi Gorge to the Adriatic along riverbanks and gravel lanes. This is a Marche hinterland the tourist crowds overlook, rushing off to the famous caves or the beaches without ever pausing to cycle along the river.

In the province of Chieti, the Ciclovia dei Trabocchi runs along the former Adriatic railway among coves, cliffs and the old stilt fishing machines. An authentic coast off the mass beach circuit, where you ride right at the water's edge, far from the crowds.
