Heroes on Bikes and Skis. The Ghisallo Museum Celebrates Games and Climbs

The Ghisallo Museum in Magreglio, Italy, is hosting an exhibition that celebrates legendary mountains and Olympic champions in cycling and skiing.

Starting February 28, the Museo del Ciclismo Madonna del Ghisallo in Magreglio, Italy, will feature an exhibition titled 'Montagne da leggenda. Storie di campioni,' celebrating the connection between legendary mountains and Olympic champions. This exhibition marks the beginning of a new season at the museum and presents a journey through the history of two sports, cycling and skiing, which share the themes of origin, struggle, and often solitude.

The exhibition highlights the epic stories of remarkable athletes who have left their mark on Italian sports history, showcasing both their triumphs and their defeats. As the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games unfold, the exhibition's themes resonate deeply, linking the breathtaking landscapes of cycling with the thrilling environments of snow sports. The display serves not only to compare disciplines and medals but also to honor significant places and moments in the sports narratives.

Museum Director Carola Gentilini emphasized that the intent of the exhibition goes beyond mere competition; it aims to celebrate the spirit and history of these athletes and the natural settings that have shaped their journeys. This interactive showcase encourages visitors to appreciate the beauty and challenges of both cycling and skiing in the context of their shared heritage and the ongoing legacy of their athletes during this vibrant Olympic season.
