This piece was included in the travel section of \u201c<strong>The Telegraph<\/strong>\u201d newspaper, that has enhanced the charm and beauty of Bergamo, the city where the Granfondo takes place.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cTelegraph\u201d put Bergamo at the top of a list of \u201cEuropean cities you never thought to visit \u2013 but probably should\u201d: a characteristic of many Italian cities, which unfortunately aren\u2019t getting the publicity they should have abroad. In that article, there were listed significant reasons to encourage the UK tourists to visit Bergamo: \u201c<em>Largely ignored by travellers in favour of nearby Milan, Bergamo is Lombardy\u2019s &lt;finest hill town&gt;, while its Piazza Vecchia is &lt;one of the loveliest&gt; in Italy. It\u2019s a charming walled city with lovely little winding streets where you can pick up an ice cream, and is also the perfect base from which to explore the Lombardy countryside and the Italian lakes.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a result, more than sure, many cycling enthusiasts will seize the opportunity to race the Granfondo Gimondi-Bianchi and plan a nice holiday, also enticed by the many daily direct air links with the airport of Orio al Serio at extremely affordable prices. Will it be the year of the United Kingdom in the \u201cGimondi\u201d? We hope so.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The registrations for the 20th edition of the Granfondo Gimondi-Bianchi are open and can be made online on the official website of the event <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.felicegimondi.it\">www.felicegimondi.it<\/a><\/strong> by filling the online form, or directly at the headquarters of the organizing company, in Bergamo, via G.
