The ride can be shortened by 20 km by taking a train from Portogruaro to Latisana. You cycle today through the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions, through an area rich in water and history, past rivers, canals and ancient Roman villages. Your final destination is Aquileia, with its Roman excavations, or Palmanova, called the 'city of stars' because, when seen from above, the city resembles a nine-pointed star.
