Giro d'Italia in Monte di Procida and Bacoli in Naples. A stage dedicated to Procida Capital of Culture: May 14, 2022

 

A sponsor of the Maglia Azzurra and the Italian cycling race Giro d'Italia for 20 years, Banca Mediolanum organises the Mediolanum Pedalata (or pedalling) for each stage of the tour, reserved for the bank's customers and guests.

Our location was the rendezvous for the pedal ride on the stage route: we welcomed about 30 cyclists who registered for the ride getting refuelled before leaving.

We had the honour of welcoming some champions among the guests, such as Alessandro Ballan, Paolo Bettini and Maurizio Fondriest. Mediolanum's press office and journalist Stefania Andriola were also present.

Being involved with Banca Mediolanum was a great emotion in such a historic event as the Giro d'Italia for Monte di Procida.
