Raticosa pass

The Raticosa pass is a mountain pass in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines located at an altitude of 968 m a.s.l.[1] It is located in the province of Florence, in the municipality of Firenzuola,[2] along the Futa state road 65. Its mountain complex includes some reliefs, including the Canda hill (901 m), Mount Canda (1158 m) and Mount Oggioli; from the latter arises the Idice, an important river in Emilia-Romagna and a tributary of the Reno. The Raticosa pass is a popular spot for cyclists in the area.[3] The finish line of the Bologna-Raticosa time trial is set on the Raticosa pass, an automobile competition valid for the Italian historic mountain championship, which in 2012 has reached its twenty-fifth edition.[4]
