Ottavio Bottecchia was one of the most famous and successful Italian cyclists between the two world wars. First Italian winner of the Tour de France in 1924, first ever to win the Tour holding the yellow jersey from the first to the last stage, the "bricklayer of Friuli" (nickname that derives from his youthful work, although he was not from Friuli but from Veneto) he participated in only one Giro d'Italia but is commonly remembered among the greatest, like Girardengo and Binda. Here on the road between Peonis and Cornino, where he died during training, a plaque is today placed. To delve deeper into his story, Claudio Gregori's book "Il corno di Orlando" is splendid, while the second season of the podcast "Maglia nera" is dedicated to Bottecchia.

Monument to Ottavio Bottecchia, the first Italian to win the Tour de France in 1924. The circumstances of his death are still a mystery today. It was June 3, 1927 when Bottecchia was found where the memorial stone is placed today and transported to the hospital. He will die after 12 days of agony as a result of complications resulting from a fracture of the vault and skull base.

For fans, legends never die - it's nice that the monument is apparently constantly maintained.
