The Beautiful Race

The Story of the Giro d'Italia

Beschreibung

"Born of tumult in 1909, the Giro d'Italia helped unite a nation. Since then, it has reflected it's home country -- the Giro's capricious and unpredictable nature matches the passions and extremes of Italy itself. A desperately hard race through a beautiful country, the Giro has bred characters and stories that dramatize the shifting culture and society of its home. Halted only by World Wars, the Giro has been contested for over a century, and The Beautiful Race is a celebration of this legendary race"--Amazon.com
