The Giro has always been a great circus, a caravan, a multicolored spectacle that transmits warmth. It is also a great global village, animated by almost 3,000 people who work hard for the most beautiful race in the world in the most beautiful country in the world. It is a starting and finishing point, but it is also a great global agora. In some ways it is also a four-star hotel, and certainly, from this year it is also a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Beyond the Garibaldi, which marks the days and shows the way with its maps, timetables and PPO, from this edition the Giro also offers its very own menu. Do you want fish couscous with mollusks and shellfish or oriental red rice? Do you prefer Mediterranean fusilli with tuna or chicken morsels with roasted vegetables? Or would you like to go for spelt and quinoa salad with summer vegetables or pumpkin and smoked scamorza lasagna? Just choose and send a message to Sport&Show Management Group and they prepare your "box-lunch" every morning, curated by "Eat Like a Star" from Coste di Maser (TV).

«We prepare 350 a day – Antonio (Tony, for cycling friends, editor's note) Rossetto and Luciano Modolo explain to me, who proposed this service to the pink race management -. They are "lunch boxes", obviously personalized, that go to the RCS staff and Giro Club guests. If you want to order and eat it during the stage, but if the stages start late like today's one in Paestum, well, then you can come to our refreshment point, we heat everything up and you can enjoy it comfortably seated before leaving».

They are extremely well organized, and the "lunch boxes" have become in the short span of a few days real must-haves. «In the box there is the chosen dish – Rossetto and Modolo continue -, a small bottle of water, a piece of fruit, a sweet treat and, of course, cutlery». Part of this project branded Sport&Show Management Group is also Bruno Gemin, son-in-law of Massimo Zanetti, the Segafredo man: do you remember?
