Giro d’Italia 2026

Saturday 30 May the Giro will return to FVG with the 20th and penultimate stage, one of the toughest and most decisive stages of the Giro d’Italia. The start from Gemona in Friuli, on the 50th anniversary of the earthquake, takes on a strong symbolic value of remembrance and rebirth. The route passes through historic villages and picturesque landscapes, all the way to the grand finale on Piancavallo: a double climb legendary, the scene of the feats of Marco Pantani, which could decide the winner of the Giro. A stage that combines history, landscape and great cycling.

There will be plenty of events to mark the passage of the Giro d’Italia; click here for full details of the stage.

Castle of Tricesimo
Del castello di Tricesimo si hanno le prime notizie certe a partire dal XIII secolo. Secondo un documento dell’anno 1253 l’edificio risulta abitato dalla nobilissima Famiglia di Tricesimo. Verso la fine del secolo verrà acquistato dai signori Della Torre che ne faranno feudo sottomesso al patriarcato di Aquileia. Fu assediato numerose volte negli anni dal 1305 al 1310 passando di mano in mano fino a diventare proprietà dei conti Valentinis che provvidero alla ristrutturazione della fortificazione, dandole la forma che ancor oggi si vede. Open on the occasion of cultural events such as the The 16th edition of the ‘Concerts in the Castle’ festival, which will take placefrom 19 to 21 June, with free admission.
