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.
