A tale of dust, epic feats, and cycling glory
In 1925, Italian cycling reached one of its greatest peaks: Ottavio Bottecchia claimed his second consecutive Tour de France victory, while Alfredo Binda began his legendary career by winning the first of his five Giro d’Italia titles.
Two legendary triumphs that shaped the sporting imagination of an Italy seeking pride and redemption through the grit and brilliance of its champions.
In this special talk, Giancarlo Brocci, creator and soul of L’Eroica, and Marco Pasquini, storyteller and passionate cycling historian, will guide us on an incredible journey into that unforgettable year. A compelling narrative that brings to life the chronicles, emotions, and dust of those historic stage races—through endless pedaling, heroic bicycles, and unforgettable rivalries.
An event for those who love cycling, history, and the human stories behind great sporting achievements.
We’ll discover who Bottecchia and Binda really were, what made those routes so unique, and how 1925 forever sealed Italy’s bond with the sport of cycling.
