Cyclofficina Luciano Berruti - Gaiole in Chianti – Italy
Luciano Berruti was literally a symbol of the history of sports and racing cycling with his visage and love for cycling. When he died in 2017, his legacy remained here and became even more intense. In 2024, a great idea was realized - to move his authentic bicycle workshop from his house to Giale and open it to the public at the Casa Eroica site. A few centuries ago, such a space would have been called a Wunderkammer – chamber of wonders in Italian – what was for years a bicycle workshop, in which Luciano Berruti combined extraordinary objects with endless stories from the past. Now this place, which contains the most intense legacy handed down to the world by an icon of heroic cycling, lives again in his beloved Gaiole in Chianti, opening that magical passage that connects today with yesterday.
