Karting Rioveggio

At the foot of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, in Monzuno in the province of Bologna in Emilia-Romagna, the Karting Rioveggio runs an outdoor track halfway between Bologna and Florence. The site sits in a mountain setting typical of the Emilian Apennines: wooded hills, beech woods, the first Apennine heights and views over the Tuscan-Emilian divide. It is used by Bologna and Florence locals for outings with friends and by motorsport enthusiasts looking for a layout in the heart of the Apennines.

The outdoor track suits adult and experienced drivers, in the mountain setting of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines (the site is sport-oriented and aimed at adult drivers). Several engine sizes are available, with higher-powered karts for regulars used to timed sessions. Conditions follow the Apennine continental climate: drier and faster in summer, more demanding on rainy autumn days and cold winter ones. The site hosts enthusiast sessions, motorsport-focused stag and hen groups and corporate events.

Monzuno is thirty minutes from Bologna, an hour and a half from Florence and one hour from Modena. The region offers plenty more to see: the historic centre of Bologna (UNESCO-candidate) with the Two Towers and the 38 km of UNESCO porticoes, Marzabotto and the Etruscan archaeological site (Kainua), the Monte Sole Historic Park (a memorial to the 1944 Nazi-fascist massacre), or a side trip to Florence UNESCO or Maranello and the Ferrari Museum. Karting in Monzuno is a sport option for Bologna and Florence locals looking for a mountain layout on the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines.
