The World's most fascinating Curved Roads

The Bolda pass in present day is an epic place to view, but behind this great structure lies a greater history.

"San boldo pass" as we know it.

         The amazing work of 7000 people which included women and children, who transformed the road that linked val beluna to valmareno, through the san boldo pass.This is so inspiring, because it was done at a time when  there were hardly machines and technology was not order of the day.Not forgetting it the job was accomplished in almost 100 days( with ahirpin turns and tunnels that allowed for troops and large caliber artillery to pass through, for use on the pave front), but yet again we are still talking about Italy(The heritage of  architectures).
