The itinerary goes on to Via Repubblica. Follow it to the end and reach the entrance gate of the Ex Eridania Park in viale Barilla, hosting the former sugar factory now transformed into the Auditorium Paganini.

Get out of the park and follow viale San Michele and viale Martiri della Libertà until you reach the river again along viale Basetti. Go straight along viale Toscanini and viale Mariotti to get back to the starting point.
