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.
