Campagnolo: 75 Years of Cycling Passion celebrates the iconic Italian component maker that shaped bicycle technology and racing culture since 1933. Authors Paolo Facchinetti and Guido Rubino trace founder Tullio Campagnolo’s inventive spirit through archival photos, vintage advertisements, and race-day shots that transport readers from post-war gravel roads to modern pelotons.

This VeloPress hardcover edition (2008, 160 pp.) is illustrated throughout, giving cyclists and design buffs a close-up look at derailleur evolution, classic gruppos, and the brand’s trademark flair for precision. Coffee-table size, 295 mm tall, lets double-page spreads breathe while captions offer concise technical notes and behind-the-scenes stories.

The book shows gentle shelf life—corner bump creases, light scuffing, minor edge dents—but pages remain crisp, unmarked, and tightly bound, making it a solid reference copy for collectors or newcomers discovering Italian cycling heritage. No inscriptions, dog-ears, or library marks; just a clean, readable tribute ready for the workbench or living room.

Ideal for adult and young-adult riders who love road, gravel, or simply beautiful machinery, this used copy delivers Campagnolo history without collector pricing. Search keywords: Campagnolo book, cycling history, bicycle components, Italian bike brand, Tullio Campagnolo biography.
