Subject: [CR]Gino Bartali docudrama on Italian TV

Angel mentioned that last week in Italy they showed a two-day docudrama about Gino Bartali on RAI-TV. I have managed to get a DVD copy of the whole show (in NTSC format no-less!) If you understand Italian and would like to see it, let me know and I can see about arranging a viewing. I have watched the first episode (more than an hour and a half without commercial breaks) and as a docudrama it is quite good. The bikes are not all that period correct, but you can see that they have tried. The actor interpreting Gino is even quite an adept rider.
