Today, easy to say of a woman running on a bike… not so much so in 1924, when Alfonsina Morini, in Strada after marriage, signed up to take part in the Giro d’Italia (Tour of Italy). The first and only woman to do it, at that time. A real scandal for that “runnerer” that everyone thought was out to confront “the males”. But Alfonsina only wanted to fly on wheels, run in the wind and climb over mountains. And that “devil in miniskirt” did it for an entire lifetime.
