Supported
by the excellent geographical position that combines the quietness of the lakes  with the
temerity of the mountains, the area of Varese has always been under attention
object of attention by cyclists, that is why, in 1904 the Cycle Club of Varese was born.
Among the champions, who made the history, we remember in particular two of
them: Luigi Ganna, winner of the first "pink t-shirt" in 1909. But it was not an
isolated enterprise. Alfredo Binda, took the inheritance of Luigi Ganna, and
among the other competitions won the Giro di Italia in 1925, 1927,1928, 1929 and 1933. In
Cittiglio, where Binda lived, a few km from Laveno, (toward Valcuvia valley) was
settled a museum to remember its memorable events.
