It is said that all roads lead to Rome.
Here, from this year also the Giro d'Italia will stop again in the Capital for the final act of the event.
Appointment therefore on May 28 with the start from Eur, to then move to Ostia, until going back among the beauties of Rome.
Inside the historic center, it will be a different route from that of 2009 and 2018 because the cyclists will pass by
San Pietro, Castel Sant'Angelo, Villa Borghese, the Ara Pacis and concluding their sprint on the Fori Imperiali with a view of the Colosseum, in a ring in the city of 17.6 kilometers to be covered five times
(with a total distance, including Ostia, of 135) and which was revealed only in the Campidoglio in the presence of the mayor of Rome, Gualtieri;
the president of RCS, Cairo;
by the councilor for sport and major events in the capital, Onorato;
the president of Coni, Malagò;
by the director of the Giro d'Italia, Vegni;
of the number one of the Italian Cycling Federation, Dagnoni and the Italy director of the Enel group (sponsor of the pink jersey), Lanzetta.
"It will be a fun and competitive ride", promised Cairo, enthusiastic about the return of the final stage in the Capital, calling it "something special".
Surely "it will be a showcase for Rome and for Italy, also in terms of Expo - added Gualtieri - A memorable appointment that fits into a bigger picture, that of bringing major sporting events back to the capital".
For this reason, the investment for the Capitoline administration will be around 1 million euros
, as announced by the councilor Onorato who also promised that the roads "will be up to par".
Indeed, in the memory of many there are still the controversies of 2018. "Then a sensational mistake was made - explained Onorato - the route was done almost entirely on cobblestones and a narrow path in the center repeated dozens and dozens of times. That was a shame that we must recover".
In fact, most of the roads will be wide and well paved.
There won't be particularly demanding sections for driving the vehicle, the organization said, while the sections with cobblestones will be reduced to a minimum.
In short, "a commercial for Rome" is the thought of Malagò that his chips are ready to end up on Consonni "given the amazing European that he has done".
The wish of the president of Federciclismo, on the other hand, is to have an Italian team in the future in which to value the Azzurri's athletes and for this he also asked for the support
of minister Abodi
"so that there is a sponsor who can support the project".
In the meantime, the date of May 28 is marked on the calendar, when the
in the evening at the Colosseum (around 18.45)
and with the Capital which, for the fifth time in its history, will close the race in pink.
