Che Bellezza (The most beautiful racing bicycles are Italian)

These tweny-one racing bikes from the Heinrich Collection were exhibited at Hartmann Projects, Galerienhaus Stutt gart between 17 November and 22 December, 2023. For many years the collector Karl Heinrich was advised by the racing bike expert Roland Wolbold (Radsport Wolbold, Stutt gart), who also co-curated the exhibition together with the collector. The bikes from Alan to Tommasini, dating from 1963 to 2004, were selected from the much larger collection for their Italian origin, beauty, fi nesse of design and technical features. They were photographed and beautifully illuminated by the Stutt gart photographer and cyclist Niels Schubert. Each of the bikes on display is a bright, colourful example of the diversity of Italian racing bicycle culture. The majority of the bikes on display have a steel or aluminium frame with Campagnolo components.
