This volume provides a systematic and in-depth reconstruction of the life of Tullo Morgagni (1881-1919), a key figure in Italian sports journalism at the beginning of the 20th century. Through extensive archival research, author Domenico Guzzo chronicles Morgagni's career, from his early days as a journalist in Milan to his role as editor-in-chief of 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' and founder of 'Lo Sport Illustrato'. The book highlights his fundamental role as the 'father' of major Italian cycling competitions, including the Giro di Lombardia, the Milan-San Remo, and the Giro d'Italia. The narrative covers his life up to his tragic and premature death in the Verona air disaster, offering a comprehensive view of his impact on journalism, sports, and mobility in Italy and Europe.
