Corte Fiori – Positano | Into the Vertical South

Core in Fiori — Positano

The route departs Corte Fiori with clarity, moving efficiently through Lazio before transitioning into Campania’s volcanic terrain. The ride compresses sharply on the Amalfi Coast, where precision replaces flow in the final descent to Positano.

Positano – Lauria | Out of the Cliffs, Back to Distance

Positano, Italy — Cirela, Italy

The route leaves the Amalfi Coast and commits early to the Cilento interior, trading coastal flow for sustained mountain engagement. Cirella marks the transition back to broader southern progression after a technical inland traverse.

Forze D'Agro – Noto

Castelmola — Syracuse

A technical descent from Etna’s volcanic highlands into the softer interior of southeastern Sicily, where precision riding gradually gives way to flow. The stage resolves at sea level in Syracuse, completing the transition from raw elevation to coastal calm.

Palermo – Messina | Northern Corridor

Palermo — Messina

After four days in Palermo, the expedition resumed with an easier coastal traverse across northern Sicily toward Messina. Less survival, more rhythm — one final slow passage before leaving the island again.

Messina – Catanzaro | Re-entering the Spine

Messina — Catanzaro

The expedition slowed intentionally today with an easier coastal ride north through Calabria and an early campsite setup by midday. Before continuing, the BMW R1300 GSA received its 10,000 km service and rear brake replacement at Barletto Moto Service — a reminder that long-distance travel depends as much on maintenance and preparation as on movement itself.

Matera – Carovigno | From Cave Cities to Coastal Wind

Matera — Gallipoli

Matera to the Adriatic coast: trulli villages, cliff towns, harbors, and sea roads instead of gravel and survival mode. The expedition slows down in Carovigno before the northern return begins.

Bassano del Grappa - Vipiteno

Bassano del Grappa — Sterzing

The Dolomites were not just scenic today — they completely changed the rhythm of the expedition. After weeks of heat, coastlines and operational chaos, the mountains finally delivered the scale, silence and technical riding Long Circle South had been building toward.

The Circle Closes — from alpine silence back into the familiar lowlands

Vipiteno — Schönenbuch

Long Circle South closed where all great journeys eventually do: not at a destination, but on the road home. After almost 7000 kilometers across Italy, Sicily, the Dolomites and Stelvio, the greatest lesson was simple—keep moving, and the story will unfold.
