Lazzaretti Ciclocross - 1986
History
Lazzaretti is an Italian brand with a long history in cycling, which began in 1916 with the founding of Cicli Lazzaretti in Rome. Two brothers, Remo and Romolo Lazzaretti, opened a small bicycle and sewing machine repair shop in Rome during the First World War. Remo’s great entrepreneurial talent turned the small business venture into a thriving business, capitalizing on his brother Romolo’s racing exploits. Romo participated in full campaigns in European races, including the Giro di Italia, Milano San Remo, the Giro di Lombardia and the 1925 Tour de France. He competed alongside Binda, Girardengo, Belloni, Bottechia and other cycling giants of the 1920s and won a stage of the 1924 Giro. Today, the heirs of the Lazzaretti brothers still run two shops in Rome. In 1996, Romolo Lazzaretti Jr. moved to Brazil, where he opened a bicycle import company.
