If you are an avid cyclist, this is the Tuscan cycling event that cannot be missed. L’Eroica and all Eroica Events invite cyclists to rediscover the beauty of fatigue and the thrill of conquest. L'Eroica was born in 1997 in Gaiole in Chianti, a small village in the province of Siena, where creator Giancarlo Brocci, together with 92 hunters of feelings and emotions - as he called them - started the first edition of a magical cycling event; an event combining challenging routes, magnificent landscapes and unforgettable refreshments in a unique way. L’Eroica was also launched as a foundation for the protection and preservation of the last gravel roads in Tuscany. Today Eroica values continue to grow with events for both classic and modern bicycles.
