Question

My route (slug contains dashes!):

Slashes are by default forbidden. You can enable them by changing the default requirements. In your case it'd be also good to give requirements for the id as it's separated with dash.

See example below.

region:
    pattern: /regione/{slug}-{id}
    defaults:
        _controller: SWAItaliaInCifreBundle:Default:region
    requirements:
        slug: "[a-zA-Z1-9\-_\/]+"
        id: "\d+"
