Books

This collection brings together
stories that celebrate the
love for bicycles through the
eyes and talents of artists and
illustrators from around the
world. Each artist I interviewed
shares a unique vision, a
personal and often profound
connection with the bicycle,
reflected in their work. For
some, the bicycle represents
individual freedom; for others,
it serves as a bridge to shared
experiences and collective
moments. But in every
instance, it becomes a muse,
one that ignites creativity,
stirs memories, and moves
emotions.

Bringing something forgotten back to light, rediscovering and curating it, trying to know its history. Stories that often seem to be frozen and that only thanks to our warmth are able to be pursued and to flourish again. Old school bikes reborn with new builds and still eager to feel the wind.

Italian artisanal framebuilding is a tradition that has developed over centuries and continues to evolve and thrive today. It involves the meticulous craftsmanship of hand-welded artifacts using traditional or modern techniques with high-quality materials. This type of craftsmanship is renowned for its skill and attention to detail and represents a significant part of Italian artisanal culture.
