    SILVANO CONTINI, IL CAMPIONE DI LEGGIUNO CHE HA FATTO SOGNARE IL MONDO DEL CICLISMO di Felice Magnani Dodici anni di professionismo, vittorie stupende, momenti di gloria strappati a una concorrenza spietata, dominata da quel Bernard Hinault, considerato uno dei più grandi campioni della storia del ciclismo, vincitore di cinque giri di Francia, tre giri d’Italia e due Vuelta a Espana. Con Silvano Contini il ciclismo italiano rafforza la sua immagine, dimostrando che si può essere campioni veri non solo nello sport, ma anche nella vita, vivendo in pienezza ed entusiasmo tutto ciò che la vita stessa regala. Silvano Contini in piena azione SILVANO CONTINI è nato a Leggiuno (Varese) il 15 gennaio 1958. Professionista dal 1978 al 1990, ha corso per la Bianchi Faema, la Bianchi Piaggio, l’Ariostea, la Gis Gelati, la Del Tongo Colnago, la Malvor Bottecchia, la Malvor Colnago e la Gis Benotto. Vanta 48 vittorie, quattordici giorni in maglia rosa e cinque presenze in nazionale. Tra i suoi successi spicca quello nella Liegi- Bastogne-Liegi del 1982. Lunga la serie di classiche e giri vinti: il Giro del Lazio, il Giro di Germania, il Giro dei Paesi Baschi, il Midi Libre, il Tour de l'Aude, la Coppa Placci, il Trofeo Baracchi (in coppia con Gisiger), il Giro del Piemonte, il Gran Premio di Camaiore, il Trofeo Matteotti, la Coppa Bernocchi, il Trofeo dello Scalatore, la Ruota d’Oro, il Giro dell’Umbria, il Giro di Puglia, il G.P. di Prato, la Coppa Sabatini. Silvano Contini oggi, nell’ufficio della sua falegnameria, alla Baraggia di Leggiuno Silvano Contini, Beppe Saronni, Roberto Visentini, Italo Zilioli e Dietrich Thurau, al Giro d’Italia (Archivio Contini) C’era un tempo in cui gli adolescenti vivevano all’aria aperta, nei prati e sulle strade, giocando a calcio o in bici, sfidandosi in lunghe volate, per vedere chi era il più forte.

  • Alla Corrente
    ALLA CORRENTE FAUSTO COPPI (1919–1960) From Saturday July 5th to Sunday July 27th, 2014, the 101st Tour de France will take place. This year it is made up of 21 stages and will cover a total distance of 3,664 kilometers (roughly 2,277 miles). It will begin in the United Kingdom (in Leeds), and will go through Belgium, Spain, and France before ending on the Champs-Élysées in Paris on July 27. Last July, Alla Corrente described the cycling exploits of one of Italy’s greatest cyclists, Gino Bartali (1914–2000). It also described his other role during World War II as a courier/spy for the Italian resistance, and his efforts to save Jews during the Italian Holocaust and German occupation. Since this is the July 2014 Bulletin and since there is much interest among Cenacolisti about the Tour, I thought it would be appropriate to offer this Alla Cor- rente about another Italian participant in several Tour races who won it in 1949 and in 1952. FAUSTO COPPI was an Italian cyclist and the major challenger to Gino Bartali in many cycling races, including the Tour de France. His successes earned him the title Il Campionissimo, or Champion of Champions. He was an all-round racing cyclist, excelling in both climb- ing and time trials, as well as being a great sprinter. Coppi was one of five children born to Domenico Coppi and Angiolina Boveri. Fausto was the fourth child, born September 15, 1919 in Castel- lania, Piedmont, Italy. His mother wanted to call him Angelo, but his father preferred Fausto; so he was named Angelo Fausto, but was known most of his life as Fausto.

    Jiří Zákravský Trasa stého ročníku cyklistického závodu Giro d’Italia jako prostor k obnovování italské národní identity (i představení Itálie zahraniční veřejnosti)1 The 100th Edition of the Cycling Race Giro d’Italia and Its Route As a Space for the Restoration of Italian National Identity (As Well As the Presentation of Italy to Foreign Public) Jiří Zákravský Fakulta filozofická, Západočeská univerzita v Plzni Abstrakt Již od roku 1909 a vzniku Gira d’Italia, závodu v silniční cyklistice napříč Itálií, je možné hovořit o velké popularitě této sportovní akce zejména, ale nikoliv pouze, na italské půdě. Někteří autoři dokonce s tro- chou nadsázky upozorňují, že právě konání Gira d’Italia udělalo pro vytvoření společné italské identity více než samotní političtí představitelé státu, který se zrodil v roce 1861. Jako důkaz této popularity může sloužit skutečnost, že se v roce 2017 uskutečnil již stý ročník závodu. Jeho pořadatelé se v důsledku tohoto jubilea snažili o to, aby bylo sté Giro celoitalským podnikem, v němž budou zřetelně viditelné odkazy na historii Itálie a úspěchy tamní cyklistiky včetně opětovného představení nejslavnějších italských závodníků. Cílem tohoto článku je analyzovat samotnou trasu závodu a její prezentaci jako prostředí, které by mělo v místních podnítit uvědomování si jejich (potenciální) italské identity, i kdyby v roce 2017 tamní cyklisté nebyli tak úspěšní, jak si pořadatelé Gira přáli. Zároveň hodlám upozornit na fakt, že ve druhé dekádě 21. století je tento cyklistický podnik jednoznačně událostí, která má po- tenciál představit nejenom Giro d’Italia, ale s ním i celou Itálii v co nejpozitivnějším světle zahraniční veřejnosti. Tento cyklistický závod je tak určitě možné využívat jako nástroj italské sportovní diplomacie.

  • L'ultimo Ruggito
    L’ultimo ruggito abato 20 ottobre. Già alle 15 il Duomo di Monza fatica a contenere le migliaia di sportivi, S atleti, ciclisti, amici, Autorità, tifosi che non vogliono mancare al passaggio del “Leone delle Fiandre”. Alle 15.15 egli fa il suo ingresso fra due ali di folla: ha inizio l’ultima volata di Fiorenzo Magni. Nessuno manca: ci sono tutti i suoi amici, ci sono le squadre ufficiali, ci sono gli amatori, ci sono i labari della Federazione Ciclistica, del CONI, delle Medaglie d’Oro, del Museo del Ghisallo, della Gazzetta dello Sport, del Giro d’Italia, dei Comuni, della nostra Associazione, e tanti altri… poi Autorità e grandi campioni che di fronte a lui sembrano privi di grinta, spo- destati della notorietà, c’è solo il Magni. La famiglia composta, attenta, silenziosa, triste ma non affranta, Liliana la moglie guarda il suo Fiorenzo come ad un arrivo di tappa, i nipoti, le figlie, quella famiglia che lui adorava sono lì… come sempre. La Santa Messa prosegue spedita fra canti e preghiere, dentro e fuori il Duomo la partecipazione è totale. Giunge il momento del commiato, tocca ad Alfredo Martini ricordare e salutare il fraterno amico di sempre, il vecchio C.T. incede un po’ nell’attacca- re, sembra non trovare le parole, poi come in una corsa si lancia e parla al suo Fiorenzo come se stessero insieme in una giornata di corse; Martini chia- ma San Pietro e lo avvisa del grande arrivo “fallo passare deve raggiungere i suoi amici” lo stanno aspettando Binda, Girardengo, Guerra, Coppi e Il Duomo di Monza affollato da Autorità, amici e semplici sportivi Bartali, la triade si riunisce, ricorda stretti attorno alla famiglia per l’ultimo saluto a Fiorenzo Magni.
