Museo Storico della Bicicletta, Belluno - Italy
Museo Storico della Bicicletta, Toni Bevilaqua (Collezione Sanvido)
Sergio Sanvido (former racer and bicycle dealer) inaugurated the Historical Bicycle Museum in 1997, named in memory of a great man of the past, the Venetian Toni Bevilacqua, world champion in 1950 and 1951. The museum was originally located in the house di Sergio, on the ground floor, near of the historic bike shop that still bears his name.
In 2007, Sergio himself donated a large part of his collection to the municipality of Cesiomaggiore, and it was then moved to the top floor of the town's elementary school, which was converted for museum purposes. And we must state that this collection can boast one of the most interesting collections in Italy.

Museo del Ciclismo "Alto Livenza" – Portobuffolé, Italy
Fantastic atmosphere in the museum dedicated to the memory of Duilio Chiaradia – a pioneer of television sports broadcasting and cameraman for RAI from 1950 to 1981 – and Giovanni Micheletto, winner of the 1912 Giro d'Italia (fourth edition) riding for the legendary Atala team (Ganna, Galetti, Pavesi, Micheletto). The museum is housed in the 14th century "Casa Gaia Da Camino". Its facilities include a technical library, database, newspaper and periodical archive, study room, film and photo archive and a collection of postcards and sports memorabilia.
The museum has several unique historical machines with very interesting histories. The collection of jerseys of famous racers would deserve an exhibition in itself. We were lucky and one of the museum's enthusiastic assistants, Valter de Martin, was there to visit us, so our experience was enhanced to the maximum. Thank you!

Portobuffolé region
Portobuffolé is located in the province of Treviso in the Veneto region of Italy. This historic walled town lies approximately 50 kilometers northeast of Venice and is known for its cobblestone streets, arcades and rich history associated with the Republic of Venice.

La Storia 1894 – 1927
Ottavio Bottecchia was born 8/1/1894, in San Martino di Colle Umberto, an authentic phenomenon who performed many heroic feats in a few years and left an indelible mark on the world of cycling: he was actually the first Italian to win the Tour de France in 1924 in the yellow jersey from first to the last stage and won the Tour again the following year in 1925.
But we can also tell about him about the heroic deeds that earned him the Bronze Medal for military bravery, about his repeated escapes from Austrian captivity and about his hard work as a cartwright and bricklayer to support his large family. A man of hard work, sacrifice and accepting fate with humility without complaint and without regret.
Minieroici – Lugagnano, Italy
A completely unique private collection of children's racing bikes. I believe that such a comprehensive collection of children's machines, very often of top quality workmanship, has no equal in the world. The collection can sometimes be seen at occasional exhibitions or events such as Eroica.

La Chiesetta delle Biciclette, Limbiate - Italy
The Chiesetta delle Biciclette - a unique museum dedicated to the history of the bicycle has found its place in a stunning building. The original church - the first ever built in Limbiate - has now become a place where the past and the present merge through a passion for culture, history and innovation.
The collection focuses on bicycles manufactured between the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries, a period that could be described as the "golden age of the bicycle". During this period, the bicycle underwent an extraordinary evolution, from a means of public transport to a symbol of freedom and modernity.
The small church houses almost 100 historical bicycles from different parts of Europe, which have been carefully collected and restored; many more are still being restored and will be exhibited at a later date. The fantastic and friendly atmosphere of the founder Adriano Vettorato and his friends made our visit a fantastic experience.

Expo Motus: The Prehistory of the Automobile - Museo Galileo – Italy
The dream of autonomous movement, independent of human and animal energy, is as old as the history of mankind. Its first expressions are lost in antiquity and are reflected in art, poetry and literature.
In thirteen stages, they take the visitor on an ideal journey that begins in Mesopotamia in the third millennium BC and ends with Karl Benz’s automobile in 1886. In between, there are extraordinary projects, which, from time to time, spring from intuitions destined to become a turning point in the field of automobility.
Exhibition Dates 08.04.2022 – 25.09.2022
