This photograph captures a piece of cycling history, showcasing a vintage "Bianchi" road racing bicycle from 1949. The specific model on display is the esteemed "Parigi-Roubaix" renowned for its durability and performance in one of the most grueling races in the world. Preserved within the prestigious Genazzi Collection of Milan, this exquisite bicycle stands as a testament to Bianchi's rich heritage. The bike's Campagnolo change system, an iconic feature during that era, adds an extra layer of authenticity and nostalgia to this remarkable artifact. Its presence evokes memories of bygone days when cycling was not just a sport but also a way of life. Displayed at the "Man on two wheels" exhibition, this photograph transports us back in time to witness firsthand how bicycles have evolved over decades. It serves as a reminder that these machines are not merely objects; they represent freedom, adventure, and human ingenuity. In this image captured by Graziella Pellicci around 1980-1990, we see more than just a bicycle. We glimpse into an entire culture built around games and pastimes—a scene where individuals find solace and joy through their love for cycling. This photo encapsulates both the beauty of transportation by land and our innate desire to explore new horizons.
