Friends of Ravenna January Event:
‘The Giro d’Italia’ and Italian Cycling Culture’.
A Talk by Author Colin O’Brien
About Our Speaker …
Colin is a writer and translator living in the southwest of Ireland. Before succumbing to the lure of home, he spent a decade living in Italy, where his love of all things two wheels brought him up and down the peninsula, introducing him to every nook and cranny of the Bel Paese, in the way that only a bicycle can.
About the Talk …
The story of the Giro d’Italia—Italy’s equivalent of the Tour de France, and its superior in the eyes of many—is as dramatic and full of extraordinary characters as the story of Italy itself. Heroism, suffering, feuds and betrayals, tradition under threat from modernity all play out against a timeless landscape.
