Dear Mr. Xxxx,

we want to signal to you the recent launch of a new website:

http://www.vigorelli.org

as we think it could be of some interest to you. It is the first Internet resource entirely dedicated to the glorious Vigorelli Velodrome in Milan, Italy, for many years the best cycle track in the world and now closed and abandoned.

We're a group of Italian people in love with track bikes and fixed gear riding. Track cycling and traditional framebuilding have now few fans in Italy as the market is going towards other directions, but we're going against the mainstream. You can check our site at

We intend the Vigorelli website as the first step in bringing back the attention to this important historical monument. We want the site to grow constantly and other initiatives in this direction will soon follow.

Our dream is to see the 'pista magica' renewed and open again to cycling competitions. Now the future of the velodrome is extremely uncertain. But even if one day somebody will decide to destroy it, at least we have created something to preserve its memory.

The site is only in italian for the moment, but we hope you will enjoy it be so kind to forward the link to any interested people.

Thank you for your attention and regards from Italy,

Stefano Dragonetti
