THE GIRO. An Italian Story
The Giro d’Italia is symbolic of a country that is racing toward the future full of dynamism and resolve. The exhibition IL GIRO. Una storia d’Italia (The GIRO. An Italian Story) is dedicated to this theme. It runs from 24 May to 18 June at the Museo di Roma in Trastevere, featuring more than 100 images, many of which come from the Archivio Storico Riccardi. These images showcase the achievements of Fausto Coppi, Gino Bartali, Felice Gimondi, Moser, Marco Pantani, Vincenzo Nibali and all the cyclists who, since 1909, have helped make the Giro d'Italia the symbol of a country racing toward ever more ambitious goals. These are snapshots of a bygone era, but as relevant as ever, with Rome often showcased as a wonderful backdrop.
The exhibition, curated by Maurizio Riccardi and Giovanni Currado, is being sponsored by Roma Capitale, with the contribution of the Department of Major Events, Sport, Tourism and Fashion in collaboration with the Department of Culture and the Roman Superintendency for Cultural Heritage. It is being put on by AGR srl in collaboration with Archivio Storico Riccardi, with our support along with that of RCS Sport & Events.
