It is a portrait of the country drawn in asphalt, and following it is one of the better ways to see what Italy actually looks like beyond the tourist map. This collection covers the 2026 edition: the stages, the landscapes, the history of the race and the towns it passes through. The cycling is the occasion. The country is the point.
