Twenty years of career for 184 victories. The eternal rival of Fausto Coppi, the savior of the homeland in 1948 when, after the attack on Palmiro Togliatti, he received the famous phone call from Alcide De Gasperi, which begged him to win a stage of the Tour de France to appease the atmosphere of insurrection that was being created in the country. Much of the history of Italian cycling is dominated by his figure. This film is the proper homage to man and athlete.
