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 =>> https://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: In 1924, she was the only woman ever to participate in the Giro d'Italia.

Museum for the seven Cervi brothers killed by the fascists. In 2021, the exhibition was completely revised. Fortunately, without extensive digitization. Here you can visit some of the Cervi family's living quarters, understand the development of local agriculture and the resistance of large parts of the population against fascism. One room is also dedicated to the development of the culture of remembrance in Italy since 1945.
