The main street of the town is dotted with murals and reproductions of vintage photos dedicated to Costante Girardengo, Fausto and Serse Coppi, Bartali and other cyclists of the past, including "gregarious" ones like the famous Carrea. Arriving from Stazzano, Serravalle or Novi Ligure you are immediately greeted by photographic reproductions of the 2019 women's Giro d'Italia, large panels that celebrate the values of sport.

In the square of the Parish Church of San Pietro Apostolo, dating back to the 16th century, there is a blow-up dedicated to the cycling champions of the Coppi years, including the champion himself, his brother Serse, Bartali and the "black jersey" Luigi Malabrocca, and reproductions of some dedicated film posters dedicated to the "golden age" of cycling, the 1940s/1950s: Totò at the Giro d'Italia and Bicycle Thieves. In those years, cycling ignited passions similar to today's football.
