MEET YOUR HOST!
Hi! We are Paladino and Pietro
We are two professional cycling guides certified by the Italian Cycling Federation with a great passion for cycling and our territory. In 2021 we conceived and started up a cycling education program called “Chronò Young”, a completely free of costs, introductory course for urban and sport cycling, open to children from 7 to 14 years old. In 2022, together with Puccini Experience A.P.S., we designed and organized the first edition of the “Ciclo Classica Puccini”, a cultural cycling event where about 400 participants took part in.
