The beauty of fatigue and the thrill of conquest

NOVA Eroica Family

"A child on a bicycle is a symbol of hope for the future. NOVA Eroica Family gathers a large group of young cyclists with their parents and some grandparents on the white roads around Piana. Because the bicycle has the power to make everyone feel like a child again."

NOVA Eroica Family is a special event designed for families: a cycling excursion on white roads that allows even the youngest to experience their own Eroica adventure. It's the perfect occasion to spend a day outdoors, immersed in nature, riding safely and having fun.
