Alfredo Binda Museum
Rainbow and Italian champion shirts, saddles, shoes and goggles, precious tools for the dusty streets of the 1920s and 1930s races: in a single large room the museum, on the 2nd floor of the railway station, houses numerous relics and documents that allow you to relive Alfredo Binda’s life and exploits.
The most valuable pieces of the collection, further enriched on the tenth anniversary of the death of the Superstar with new donations, are undoubtedly the two Legnano bicycles that contributed to the triumphs of the World Championships of ’30 and ’32. Among the memorabilia there is, of course, the mythical receiver that Binda played in Cittiglio’s band.
The collection is completed by scoreboards that show in chronological order numerous photographs depicting the highlights of a man’s sporting career and history. They range from the particular pictures of the Six Days at Madison Square Garden in New York, to images that testify to the conditions in which the races took place: it is the documentation, not only sporting, of an era.
