A parade of champions called to pay tribute to the inventiveness of Campagnolo, an undisputed brand in the world of cycling.
But the day was rounded off with an exciting tour inside the factory where the participants were able to admire the details and workmanship of our products, the know-how learned in many years of passion and dedication.
