The May 31st event is part of a rich calendar of events celebrating Fertilia's 90th anniversary, uniting memory, local history, sport, and identity. This initiative will allow us to rediscover an important part of our collective history and strengthen the sense of belonging that represents one of our community's most authentic values., commented the Mayor of Alghero Raimondo Cacciotto.

Fertilia, Maristella, Guardia Grande, and Santa Maria la Palma will be animated for a day by cycling enthusiasts who will participate in a "non-competitive ride" designed to symbolically trace the perimeter of the vast reclamation project that in the 1930s literally transformed what was once a vast marshy and stony area into a fertile and productive place.

“The bicycle was the only means of transport for many farmers in the Veneto and Ferrara regions,” said Raffaella Sanna, Councillor for Culture of the Municipality of Alghero, "A tradition these communities brought with them on their journey in search of a place they themselves helped make prosperous, where they could raise their sons and daughters. Alghero and Sardinia have indeed been a welcoming land, where these families have become an integral part and source of pride for our diverse community."

The bike ride, organized by the Fertilia Grandi Eventi Association in collaboration with the ASD Algherobike, will also benefit from the valuable support of the ASD BabboBike of Reggello, Tuscany, which will be present with a large group of athletes from across the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Cyclists will cycle through some of our region's most prized areas, including farmland, vineyards, and enchanting beaches and coastlines, a great asset for Alghero..
