Right at the entrance to the cycle path along the Po from Boretto there is this mural dedicated to Alfonsina Morini Strada, the first and only woman to compete in the men's Giro d'Italia way back in 1924. The mural is the work of the FX Collective, created as part of a project to encourage the use of bicycles.

With the mural that adorns part of the wall here, the artists honor an early female cyclist: Alfonsina Morini Strada (1891 to 1959). The fact that the creators of the mural did a good job of portraying her can be seen in the Wikipedia image database, as there is a photograph of her at the following link =>> de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfonsina_Strada#/media/Datei:Alfonsina_Morini.jpg

Apart from the sporting successes she achieved during her sporting career – which spanned a good quarter of a century – Alfonsina also made Italian cycling history: She was the only woman ever to participate in the Giro d'Italia in 1924.
