@LIUCGiorgio, MyrtheLiucT2, LIUCChia.05, LIUCHéloïse2, LiucRiky, LIUCMaxiTeam2, and LIUCandyGroup02:

• note the guidelines and good practice on lead sections, look at other pages and remove 'Introduction' for the Lead Section. See: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section. Use this to develop this section, which needs to include the Italian name at this point, the length, start-end points, and extablish notability (1st/oldest via ferrata, etc. - currently erronerously in History section). The lead has no heading. See also Wikipedia:Writing_better_articles#Lead_section.
• 4 references are incorrectly inserted below the reference header tag. See Help:Referencing for beginners and similar
• needs adding to relevant Categories. See Help:Category
• needs See Also and External Links sections. Understand the differences between these sections and types of links. See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Layout#"See_also"_section and Wikipedia:External links. See how it is done on other pages
• needs a map of the path. Plenty online.
• structure:
  • Location needs to come before History;Geology befor Cultural significance; etc.
  • the following text should not be in History: "The Sentiero Bove (Bove Path) is one of the most iconic hiking routes in the Italian Alps, recognized for being the first via ferrata (iron path) and Alta Via (high-altitude trail) in the region. Located in the Parco Nazionale Val Grande,..."
  • History section needs better structure. First sub-section Origins (with the pastoral origins and Bove's death), then the sub-sections on the actual history of the path.
• referencing:
  • inconsistencies in reference format related to use of upper case characters and to identify non-English sources
  • non-English rsources are acceptable but need to be complimented and balanced with English sources accessible to the platform's audience. See Wikipedia:Verifiability#Non-English_sources
• style:
  • avoid the use of unnecessary, subjective and biased vocabulary e.g. 'home to the'; 'most iconic'; 'Today'; 'However'; 'groundbreaking,'; 'hidden in the rocky folds'; etc. See Manual_of_Style#Vocabulary
  • the style in the Stages sub-section is inappropriate and includes personal tense and travel guide type content e.g. 'hut is already in sight'; etc.
• grammar: inconsistencies in use of italics
• use of the topic name: the topic is Bove Path, but the Italian name is used in many places
• duplicate content e.g. 'Located in the Parco Nazionale Val Grande'; memorial to Bove; etc. Needs better structure.
• linking: See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking.
  • You link out once, the first time the linked text is used
  • do not duplicate links out (at least 4)
• needs topic-relevant images to support adjacent text sections
• the Geology section is relevant, but needs better relevance to the page topic rather than the surrounding region
• additional sources:
  • there is some relevant historical information (in Italian) via Google Books, particularly related to historic Alpine Club sources
• given the extensive issues listed here it is advised to discuss & correctly 'check off' issues where they are listed when completed to manage these tasks. See Help:Talk
• the page needs relevant and acceptable images locared with the relevant text sections. There are many online which need pursuing for acceptable licensing and use.
• linking in: the page has potential for relevant links from and to the page. These include several existing pages for which links to this page can be created.
