The Museo del Ciclismo is located on the Colle del Ghisallo, one of the most famous places for cyclists all over the world. Next to it is the homonymous Sanctuary of the Madonna, protector of cyclists since 1949. Inaugurated in 2006, the museum aims to preserve and enhance the world of two wheels, with over 1500 memorabilia, including bicycles, jerseys, and various racing items.
Dedicated to the men and women who have made history in cycling, both in sports competitions and in everyday life, the museum was created with the goal of preserving and promoting the world of cycling: the athletes, the manufacturers of the means, the organizers, the company executives, the journalists, and other figures, perhaps less known, but strongly linked to this sport.
A highlight is the collection of jerseys, over two hundred, from numerous national and international competitions. Among these, more than 50 pink jerseys are on display, a unique collection in the world, created in collaboration with Gazzetta dello Sport, with the aim of finding a jersey for each edition of the Giro d'Italia. The exhibition of bicycles is designed to provide visitors with an in-depth look not only from a competitive perspective but also highlighting the technological evolution of the bicycle. Since 2015, the museum has been part of the Network of Technical Scientific Museums of the Lombardy Region.
