Pantani era un dio

Synopsis of Pantani era un dio

In this work, Marco Pastonesi reconstructs the career and life of the legendary cyclist Marco Pantani, known as 'The Pirate'. Through a polyphony of voices including teammates, sports directors, and close friends, the book explores both his feats in the mountains and his deep personal struggles, including his issues with doping and depression. This special edition, published on the twentieth anniversary of his passing, offers an intimate and human look at one of the most iconic and complex figures in world cycling. The book does not seek to pass judgment, but rather to present a choral chronicle that portrays Pantani as a warrior, a loner, and a myth.
