Monument dedicated to cycling and Tullio Campagnolo.

Monument dedicated to Tullio Campagnolo at the Croce D'Aune pass.

... with its EIGHT hairpin bends ;-)

Thurs. October 12th '23 a car rally will be held on the public road that is not (!) closed. For the. For a long time I couldn't tell what was going on - until I noticed the folding chairs with the marshals... If available, the center line is the benchmark for the drivers and the hairpin bends are preferably driven on the inside: Have fun descending into the right-hand bends - there are always a few 'surprises'. I saw 2 Carabinieri vehicles on the way without any apparent surveillance activity - a third was taking care of an illegal parker. Well - I definitely won't be doing this (very nice) lap on this date again.

The man, the myth, the legend. It was upon this hill Campagnolo was inspired to develop his rear derailleur gear changing system!

According to Gianni Brera's story in "The giant and the file", Tullio Campagnolo had the intuition that – as he is thought to have said in Vicenza dialect – «something must be changed from the air» on 4 November 1924 on the Croce d'Aune pass , during the Victory Grand Prix. Tullio Campagnolo, then a cyclist who ran without a team, as an independent, going up towards the Croce d'Aune he has several mechanical problems and is convinced that something must have changed. He will invent the ancestors of bicycle derailleurs which are still used all over the world. Today on the Croce d'Aune pass there is a monument dedicated to him, which recalls that moment. A minimal inscription reads: «Tullio Campagnolo – Inventor».
