The Pasculli Pradello carbon road bike is named after the “Frazione di Pradello”, a part of the village of Bettola in the Emilia-Romagna region. Legend has it that the Casa Torre – a characteristic medieval house tower in Pradello – is the birthplace of the seafarer and explorer Christopher Columbus. But the area around Bettola is much better explored by road bike ;-) Pradello is on the way to Bettola’s local mountain, the Passo del Cerro. The Italian rock star Gianna Nannini also has a property up here. The pass connects Bettola with the village of Perino, is almost 13 kilometers long and covers 554 meters in altitude with an average gradient of 4 percent. The highest point is 760 meters above sea level. So the air is not yet too thin and you should still have enough oxygen in your lungs on your Pradello speedster anyway…!
