Giro d’Italia, the theme songs of the stage race

The one hundred and ninth edition of the Giro d’Italia is in full swing, the classic cycling race whose leader wears the pink jersey. Yesterday, Sunday 24 May, the Giro stopped in Milan, and will end on Sunday 31 May in Rome. Today is a day of rest for the “tadpoles”, and I take this opportunity to let you listen to a selection of the songs that over the years have been the theme songs for Rai radio and television links with the race.
