If in the last few decades the hamlet of Plan di Montecampione has entered a deep tourist crisis, an imposing statue by Marco Pantani makes it a must for those who cycle. In the history of professional cycling, Plan di Montecampione is linked to the legendary Pantani-Tonkov challenge during the nineteenth stage of the 1998 Giro.

Montecampione has dedicated a dutiful tribute to Marco Pantani, the unforgettable cycling champion, to commemorate the legendary climb of June 4, 1998. After a long period of work, the project has finally been completed. On 26 June 2021, an imposing 6-metre-high statue was inaugurated at Plan di Montecampione. The event saw the participation of various authorities, numerous enthusiasts and Tonina Belletti, the mother of the "Pirate".
