“100 volte Bottecchia“, Associazione Culturale Ottavio Bottecchia Pordenone, Italy
The Associazione Culturale Ottavio Bottecchia Pordenone was born from the desire to build a cultural, sporting and educational path aimed at enhancing the memory of Ottavio Bottecchia, a witness to heroic cycling, 100 years after his first victory at the Tour de France in 1924. It testifies that the life of a person and cyclists is strongly rooted in the capital Pordenone and the naming of the city Velodrome. A journey that brings attention to both his sporting achievements and his human value profile, with events in favor of the territory and citizens of Pordenone; for younger generations to take a cue from Bottecchi's statement after winning the Tour:
"I endured, I resisted. Above all, I wanted.
