At the Monastery of Santa Lucia alla Castellina, just above Sesto Fiorentino, home of the Cycling Spiritual Center and Filotex Museum, the annual gathering of the Tuscan Cycling Glories Club was held (current president is former Florentine champion Roberto Poggiali), conceived and promoted by Giuliano Passignani 37 years ago.

The celebration took place thanks to the collaboration of Luca Limberti, Alessandro Troni, Giacinto Gelli, and the Carmelite Fathers themselves: among those present were some former cycling champions like Franco Bitossi and Luca Menichetti, president of the Tuscany Regional Committee.

After the Holy Mass, awards were given to Renato Masini from Florence, a 60-year sports society manager of Aquila di Ponte a Ema, junior Fabio Del Medico, world and Italian track champion in 2024, former professional Daniele Tinchella, Lisa Bartali, granddaughter of the great Florentine champion, journalists Elena Forzoni and Stefano Fiori, while the memorial award was presented to the family of Carlo Alberto Calamandrei, who for many years was a passionate AICS manager in Florence.
