I, ALFONSINA

It wasn’t that long ago that girls were forbidden to ride bicycles. Also, it wasn’t long ago that girls had to dress up as boys in order to stand out in society. This is the case of Alfonsina, a girl who loved to ride her bicycle, but had to fight hard for her dream. In 1924, after winning several competitions, she became the first woman in history to ride in a Grand Tour: the Giro d’Italia. Fast as the wind, she turned into a legend and a symbol of resistance and determination.
