Subject: [CR]Italian Velodromes

There was an article I came across that mentioned that Giro stages would (i n the early 30s, 40s?) typically end in a velodrome. The article mentioned 5 or 6, including Rome (on the outskirts), and Naples, of course Milano. I'm familiar with the Milano velodrome but the others seem to be rarely mentioned here on the list. What were the velodromes the Giro would in?
