Giacomo Pellizzari, journalist and writer who will debut in the granfondo the following day (of which he will receive the yellow-gold jersey during the talk), will discuss with journalist Davide Rossi his passion for the great climbs – especially those over 2,000 meters -, which translates into pedaling and words, both oral and written.
