Girardengo, Constante (1893- 1978)
He was the first rider to be declared a “Campionissimo,” or “Champion of champions.” He was Italian road champion a record nine times in a row. But for the intervention of World War I, when no national championship was held in Italy from 1915 to 1918, the record might have been even greater.
