«To use a cycling metaphor, the Giro d’Italia which stops in Fossano on Monday can give us a boost in the world of cycling enthusiasts. Cuneo and its province have routes that have nothing to envy of the Dolomites, which are very popular with people on two wheels: we just need to make them more known to give shape to tourism that is still profitable.” Marco Gallo, candidate for regional councilor in the elections of 8 and 9 June in the civic list of President Cirio, during the days of the Giro d’Italia in Piedmont – four stages, with the third which from Novara arrives in the city of Acaja – rediscovers a passion: as mayor of Busca he fought to transform the “Via dei cannons”, the former military road that from the Rossana collection unravels for 40 kilometers between the Maira and Varaita valleys, into one of the highest altitude cycle and pedestrian paths in Europe. «We must courageously focus on itineraries such as the Cannoni or the Salt Road from Limone to Monesi, reserving them for cyclists on some days of the week, to intercept international tourism which can guarantee good returns if we know how to exploit the opportunity. The Giro d’Italia can be an interesting driving force if cycling enthusiasts learn to combine an arrival in the Granda with routes such as the one that leads from Castelmagno to the Pantani peak or the rides that can be done in the hills of the Langhe and Roero, a heritage of UNESCO. As a councilor I promise to work hard to create all the conditions to make the Cuneo area one of the lands of cycle tourism, guaranteeing first and foremost the safety of cyclists with ad hoc routes”. On the other hand, Gallo is convinced that tourism can have an increasingly important role in the province’s economy, expanding its offer. And therefore combining the food and wine of the Alba hills and the winter skiing season with new vocations, to be exploited especially in the summer. Starting with cycle tourism.
