The Italian Institute of Culture in Edinburgh is proud to present a temporary exhibition that aims to recount the history and identity of Italian cycling. </p> <p>The free exhibition, which will run from 11th June – 16th July, features 12 significant bicycles, including 6 historic models from the Madonna del Ghisallo Cycling Museum Collection. Also 6 models on loan from Italian companies that have shaped the history of cycling. Among the bicycles on display will be an early 20th-century Bianchi racing bike with a block brake and a Legnano bike ridden by Gino Bartali in the 1938 Tour de France. </p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://iicedimburgo.esteri.it/en/gli_eventi/calendario/italian-icons-the-history-of-bicycles-between-competition-and-design/" rel="nofollow">https://iicedimburgo.esteri.it/en/gli_eventi/calendario/italian-icons-the-history-of-bicycles-between-competition-and-design/</a> </p>
