Our administration believe very much in sustainable tourism, Peschiera-Mantova bike lane, which starts precisely from our city, is Europe’s busiest one».
Enthusiastic also Andrea Tonti, former professional and co-founder of the travel agency specialized in holiday and marathon for cyclists in Italy and abroad: «I accepted without hesitation the chance to become the main sponsor of the event because Peschiera del Garda is part of a land that has always fascinated me, ever since I was a rider in the top category, and because the proposal was put forward to me by Tazio Palvarini, Colnago Cycling Festival organizer, a friend who I really trust. I consider it an excellent showcase for a company like mine, that was born, grew up and consolidated on bicycle tourism. For a Gran Fondo Lake Veneto area is perfect because it offers unique views and roads, for this reason with my wife Michela, my partner in the Tour Operator, we answered yes. Garda area is historically linked to cycling, we hope many cyclists will come to know us in Peschiera and in the future will ride with us around the world. Write down the date on the calendar, we look forward to see you all in Gran Fondo Bike Division Peschiera del Garda!».
