(Santander, 1856 - 1912) Spanish scholar and historian. A child prodigy, he was a disciple of Mila and Fontanals in Barcelona and later studied in Madrid and Valladolid. Toured major European libraries and in 1878, with only twenty-two, he became professor of literature at the University of Madrid. He held numerous academic and teaching positions before being appointed, in 1898, director of the National Library. He was a member of the Royal Spanish Academy and directed the Academy of History.
Considered the most learned man of his time, had an extraordinary memory and an unusual ability to work, qualities that allowed him to perform since its early beginnings study a daunting task, especially for Hispanic literary history. His career began with the release polygraph of Spanish Science (1876), a collection of articles that enthusiastically advocated the scientific tradition of his country.
He later developed the unorthodox Spanish History (1880-1882), where the concept of orthodoxy equated to the idea of national spirit and denied the status of full-fledged Spanish authors less identified with Catholicism. From this period are also youth conferences and theater Calderón (1881), this unfavorable analysis Golden Age playwright Another early work was the History of aesthetics Spanish (1883-1884), comprehensive tour of the theories on art and literature produced in Spain, which brought in relation to their counterparts in Europe.
In a second stage, once the youthful exaltation, Menéndez Pelayo reviewed many of the theses expressed in his earlier books and mitigated its ideological determinism without completely give the definition of Spanish culture reflecting a refined Catholicism. Dump in the systematization and reconstruction of the literary past, wrote an anthology of lyric poets Castilian (1890-1908), whose preface is a comprehensive exhibition on medieval poetry in Spanish.
Subsequently released its Studies Lope de Vega (1892-1902), History of Latin American poetry (1893-1895) and the origins of the novel (1905-1910), which examined the birth and development of this kind until the sixteenth century. Alongside these works, that made their reputation as the leading figure of the Spanish literary historiography, mention the five volumes of lectures, prefaces and articles gathered in literary criticism (1884-1898).
In the scholarly work of Menendez Pelayo met Catholic spiritualism, the methodology of H. Taine and romantic historicism J.G. Herder, so that their vision can be considered a curious synthesis of traditionalism and modernity, traditionalism and Europeanism, positivism and idealism.

(Santander, 1856 - 1912) Erudito e historiador español. Niño prodigio, fue discípulo de Milá y Fontanals en Barcelona y estudió más tarde en Madrid y Valladolid. Recorrió las principales bibliotecas europeas y en 1878, con sólo veintidós años, obtuvo la cátedra de literatura de la Universidad de Madrid. Desempeñó numerosos cargos docentes y académicos antes de ser nombrado, en 1898, director de la Biblioteca Nacional. Fue miembro de la Real Academia Española y dirigió la Academia de la Historia.
Considerado el hombre más culto de su época, poseía una extraordinaria memoria y una insólita capacidad de trabajo, cualidades que le permitieron llevar a cabo desde sus precoces inicios una ingente tarea de estudio, especialmente de la historia literaria hispánica. Su trayectoria de polígrafo comenzó con la publicación de La ciencia española (1876), colección de artículos en los que defendió con entusiasmo la tradición científica de su país.
Más tarde elaboró la Historia de los heterodoxos españoles (1880-1882), donde equiparó el concepto de ortodoxia a la idea de espíritu nacional, y negó la condición de españoles de pleno derecho a los autores menos identificados con el catolicismo. De este período de juventud son también las conferencias sobre Calderón y su teatro (1881), análisis poco favorable a este dramaturgo del Siglo de Oro. Otra obra temprana fue la Historia de las ideas estéticas españolas (1883-1884), exhaustivo recorrido por las teorías sobre arte y literatura producidas en España, que puso en relación con sus equivalentes en Europa.
En un segundo momento, pasada la exaltación juvenil, Menéndez Pelayo revisó muchas de las tesis expresadas en sus primeros libros y mitigó su determinismo ideológico sin renunciar por completo a la definición de la cultura española como reflejo de un acendrado catolicismo. Volcado en la sistematización y reconstrucción del pasado literario, escribió una Antología de poetas líricos castellanos (1890-1908), cuyo prólogo es una amplia exposición sobre la poesía medieval en lengua española.
Posteriormente dio a conocer sus Estudios sobre el teatro de Lope de Vega (1892-1902), la Historia de la poesía hispanoamericana (1893-1895) y los orígenes de la novela (1905-1910), en las que examinó el nacimiento y desarrollo de este género hasta el siglo XVI. Junto a estas obras, que lo consagraron como la figura capital de la historiografía literaria española, hay que mencionar los cinco volúmenes de conferencias, prólogos y artículos reunidos en Estudios de crítica literaria (1884-1898).
En la labor erudita de Menéndez Pelayo se dieron cita el espiritualismo católico, la metodología de H. Taine y el historicismo romántico de J.G. Herder, por lo que su visión puede considerarse una curiosa síntesis de tradicionalismo y modernidad, casticismo y europeísmo, positivismo e idealismo.

Post mortem
Portrait of D. Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo, of Moreno CarboneroDespués his death, Don Marcelino, like El Cid, continues to win battles in the field of Spanish culture. Your Library is open to the public immediately by its first librarian, Don Miguel Artigas, spiritual disciple and biographer of the master, who duly convened and sheath around the figure of the famous sage Menéndez Pelayo Society, which soon the most illustrious part professional Spanish literary criticism, Hispanists, universities, libraries, literary and cultural societies in Spain and abroad.
It also creates the Library Bulletin Menéndez Pelayo, in 1919, that was and is the most authoritative spokesman, higher positive value of scholarship and Spanish literature, necessary working tool for those dedicated to literary studies and historical.
Arise innumerable disciples and admirers Sage Santander, who patiently engaged in removing his teachings, to disseminate and, if possible, to complete.
Moreover, since 1925, the Company established the Menéndez Pelayo Summer courses for foreigners, whose primitive order-which has now been generously overflowing-chasing pave the way to future Hispanists, helping them in their work and giving them also have direct experience extraordinary masterpiece mountain sage, as a guide and guidance to undertake their studies of Spanish culture.
But having started in 1911 the publication of the Complete Works of the polygraph, and continues with long intervals until 1932, editing, because different difficulties, did not reach the appropriate and desirable pace needed to make them known, and Moreover, if we consider that many of them, and copies were rare and out.
He had to get our liberation war for the new state, aware of the enormous importance of the doctrines of the wise and effective means to contribute to the revival, the regeneration he craved Don Marcelino, a Spain without parties or divisions and conscious their past and their destinations, take upon himself, through the National Research Council, the corporation of a [30] national edition of his Collected Works. And I take after take, uninterruptedly, have seen the light, in a period of eleven years, all the works that have been outlined above and many other works, running out very soon many of these volumes and was forced to re-edit the Council.
Indispensable, again, is for those who want to enter seriously into the history and literature go to Menéndez Pelayo, but in any case, all you need to know and admire Spanish figure who, over great sage-possibly not comparison in the last two hundred years of our past-it was a great Spanish.
Post mortem
Retrato de D. Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo, por Moreno CarboneroDespués de su muerte, don Marcelino, al igual que el Cid Campeador, continúa ganando batallas en el campo de la cultura española. Su Biblioteca es abierta inmediatamente al público por su primer bibliotecario, don Miguel Artigas, discípulo espiritual y biógrafo del maestro, quien oportunamente convoca y funda alrededor de la figura del insigne sabio la Sociedad Menéndez Pelayo, de la que bien pronto forman parte los más ilustres profesionales de la crítica literaria española, hispanistas, Universidades, Bibliotecas, Ateneos y sociedades culturales de España y del Extranjero.
Se crea igualmente el Boletín de la Biblioteca Menéndez Pelayo, en el año 1919, que constituyó y constituye el portavoz más autorizado y de mayor valor positivo de la erudición y de la bibliografía española, instrumento de trabajo necesario para cuantos se dedican a los estudios literarios e históricos.
Surgen innumerables discípulos y admiradores del sabio de Santander, que pacientemente se dedican a extraer sus enseñanzas, a divulgarlas y, en lo posible, a completarlas.
Además, desde 1925, estableció la Sociedad Menéndez Pelayo los Cursos de verano para extranjeros, cuyo primitivo fin –que actualmente ha sido generosamente desbordado– perseguía preparar el camino a los futuros hispanistas, ayudándoles en sus trabajos y dándoles también a conocer directamente la obra portentosa del sabio montañés, como guía y orientación al emprender sus estudios sobre la cultura española.
No obstante haberse comenzado en el año 1911 la publicación de las Obras completas del polígrafo, y que continúa con grandes intervalos hasta 1932, su edición, debido a distintas dificultades, no alcanzaba el ritmo conveniente y deseable que era preciso para darlas a conocer; y más, si tenemos en cuenta que muchas de ellas, constituían ya ejemplares raros y agotados.
Tuvo que llegar nuestra guerra de Liberación para que el Nuevo Estado, conocedor de la enorme importancia de las doctrinas del sabio como medio eficacísimo para contribuir al resurgimiento, a la regeneración que tanto ansiaba don Marcelino, de una España sin partidos ni divisiones y consciente de su pasado y de sus destinos, tomara sobre sí, a través del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, la gran empresa de una [30] edición nacional de sus Obras completas. Y tomo tras tomo, ininterrumpidamente, han visto la luz, en un período de once años, todas las obras que han sido reseñadas anteriormente y otros muchos trabajos, agotándose muy pronto muchos de estos tomos y viéndose obligado el Consejo a reeditarlos.
Indispensable, repetimos, resulta para todos aquellos que quieran introducirse seriamente en la Historia y en la Literatura acudir a Menéndez Pelayo; pero, en cualquier caso, todo español debe conocer y admirar la figura de quien, por encima de gran sabio –posiblemente no tiene parangón en los doscientos años últimos de nuestro pasado–, fue un gran español.

Gino (il Ginettaccio) Bartali, Cavaliere di Gran Croce Ordine al Merito
http://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000013522520134
A proposito di ...
modifica | storia
Gino Bartali (Ponte a Ema, 18 luglio 1914 – Firenze, 5 maggio 2000) è stato un ciclista su strada e dirigente sportivo italiano. Professionista dal 1934 al 1954, vinse tre Giri d'Italia (1936, 1937, 1946) e due Tour de France (1938, 1948), oltre a numerose altre corse tra gli anni trenta-cinquanta.
La carriera di Bartali, più vecchio di Fausto Coppi di cinque anni, fu notevolmente condizionata dalla seconda guerra mondiale, sopraggiunta proprio nei suoi anni migliori.
Soprannominato Ginettaccio, fu grande avversario di Coppi. Leggendaria la loro rivalità, che divise l'Italia nell'immediato dopoguerra (anche per le presunte diverse posizioni politiche dei due). Celebre nell'immortalare un'intera epoca sportiva – tanto da entrare nell'immaginario collettivo degli italiani – è la foto che ritrae i due campioni mentre si passano una bottiglietta durante una salita al Tour del '52.[1]
Da ricordare, in particolare, la sua vittoria al Tour de France 1948, che, a detta di molti, contribuì ad allentare il clima di tensione in Italia dopo l'attentato a Palmiro Togliatti. Indice [nascondi]

[modifica] Carriera [modifica] Gli inizi
Gino Bartali, esordì come ciclista dilettante nei primi anni trenta con la società "Aquila divertente". Nel 1935 si sentì pronto al passaggio al professionismo, ma si iscrisse alla Milano-Sanremo come indipendente. Incredibilmente si trovò in testa dopo aver staccato Learco Guerra. Disturbato mentalmente ad arte con un'intervista in corsa dal direttore della Gazzetta dello Sport Emilio Colombo [senza fonte], fu ripreso e battuto in volata, finendo quarto.
Venne ingaggiato dalla scuderia Frejus con la quale corse il suo primo "Giro d'Italia" finendo settimo con una vittoria di tappa. Finirà la stagione con la vittoria al Criterio di Montiujch, al Giro dei Paesi Baschi ed al Campionato Italiano. Casa Natale di Gino Bartali
Nel 1934 vinse la sesta edizione della Coppa Bologna, valida come terza prova del Campionato toscano dilettanti, e con questa vittoria si laureò campione di Toscana[2]. [modifica] La consacrazione (1936-1937)
Nel 1936, passò alla Legnano capitanata da Learco Guerra, che, intuite le qualità del nuovo arrivato, si mise al suo servizio come gregario per permettergli il successo alla Corsa rosa di quell'anno; successo che arrivò in modo trionfale, con tre vittorie di tappa. Pochi giorni dopo Bartali pensò seriamente di abbandonare la carriera in seguito alla morte del fratello minore Giulio, avvenuta a causa di un incidente in una gara di dilettanti. L'anno si chiuse con la vittoria nel Giro di Lombardia.
Nel 1937, ormai capitano della Legnano e numero uno del ciclismo Italiano, vinse il suo secondo Giro d'Italia e fu designato per tentare la conquista del Tour de France, vinto solo due volte da un italiano, Ottavio Bottecchia nel 1924 e 1925. Mentre era in maglia gialla, una brutta caduta nel Torrente Colau durante la tappa Grenoble-Briançon, con conseguenti ferite alle costole, ed una grave bronchite, lo costrinsero al ritiro. [modifica] Primo trionfo in Francia e alla "Sanremo" (1938-1939)
Nel 1938 fu spinto dal regime a saltare il Giro per preparare il Tour de France, nel quale trionfò aggiudicandosi anche sette vittorie di tappa.
Nel 1939 riuscì finalmente a vincere la Milano-Sanremo, ma malgrado quattro vittorie di tappa perse il Giro a favore di Giovanni Valetti. [modifica] Il Giro del 1940 e Fausto Coppi
Nel 1940 bissò il successo alla Milano-Sanremo e si preparò per cercare di vincere il suo terzo Giro. Nella squadra della Legnano era arrivato un promettente ragazzo alessandrino di nome Fausto Coppi, voluto da Bartali stesso come gregario. Durante la seconda tappa, la Torino-Genova, attardato da una foratura, Bartali cadde e si fece male a causa di un cane che gli tagliò la strada proprio mentre si stava ricongiungendo alla testa della corsa.[3] Eberardo Pavesi, direttore del team, decise allora di puntare su Coppi, che era il meglio piazzato in classifica. All'arrivo della tappa Bartali fece i complimenti a Coppi e si mise al suo servizio, come aveva fatto Guerra con lo stesso Bartali nel 1936.
Proprio su una salita sulle Alpi, Bartali era davanti di poche decine di metri a Coppi, che era alle prese con la classica "cotta" e fortissimi dolori alle gambe. Fausto stava per scendere dalla bici con l'intenzione di lasciare il giro. Bartali se ne accorse, tornò indietro, e ricordandogli i sacrifici fatti, riusci a farlo risalire in bicicletta e gli urlò: "Coppi sei un acquaiolo! Ricordatelo! Solo un acquaiolo!". Bartali intendeva dire che chi non si impegna fino allo spasimo non è un vero ciclista ma soltanto un acquaiolo, cioè un portatore d'acqua, un gregario insomma, e non un campione. A Bartali piaceva mangiare e bere anche prima delle gare, differentemente da Fausto Coppi che stava attentissimo alla dieta.
Coppi alla fine vinse il Giro. La corsa, già disertata dagli stranieri, si chiuse il giorno prima dell'entrata in guerra dell'Italia, e la guerra sancì per cinque anni l'interruzione della carriera per i due campioni. [modifica] La guerra
Costretto a lavorare come riparatore di ruote di biciclette, risulta che Bartali, fra il settembre 1943 e il giugno 1944 si sia adoperato in favore dei rifugiati ebrei, compiendo numerosi viaggi in bicicletta dalla stazione di Terontola-Cortona fino ad Assisi, trasportando documenti e foto tessere nascosti nei tubi del telaio della bicicletta affinché una stamperia segreta potesse falsificare i documenti necessari alla fuga di ebrei rifugiati, tanto che nel 2005 il Presidente della Repubblica Carlo Azeglio Ciampi gli conferì la medaglia d'oro al merito civile per aver salvato circa 800 cittadini ebrei.[4]. Ricercato dalla polizia fascista sfollò a Città di Castello, dove rimase cinque mesi, nascosto da parenti ed amici .
Ci sono alcune testimonianze di una sua adesione alla Repubblica Sociale Italiana, peraltro mai confermate come attendibili.[5] Questa testimonianza inoltre non tiene conto del fatto che Bartali non aderì mai al fascismo ed anzi, si schierò spesso contro alle richieste del fascismo con la propria indole polemica. [modifica] Il primo dopoguerra (1945-1947) Piazza Gino Bartali a Firenze
Ripresa la carriera nel 1945, Bartali ormai 31enne era dato per "finito", mentre Coppi, di cinque anni più giovane, era considerato l'astro nascente (anche se la prigionia in tempo di guerra gli rese difficile la ripresa).
Nel 1946 Bartali vinse il Giro d'Italia, mentre Coppi passato alla "Bianchi" terminò alle sue spalle a soli 47 secondi. Non potendo partecipare al "Tour", precluso agli ex belligeranti, Bartali stravinse il Giro della Svizzera.
Nel 1947, vinse la Milano-Sanremo e perse il Giro d'Italia a favore di Coppi, anche per un banale guasto meccanico. Bissò il successo al Giro della Svizzera, all'epoca la più ricca e prestigiosa tra le corse a tappe del dopoguerra. [modifica] Il trionfo del 1948
Il 1948 lo vide in difficoltà per vari motivi nella parte iniziale della stagione e attardato da una caduta al "Giro", terminò solo 8º, osservando la conclusione che portò Coppi al ritiro per protesta per la mancata squalifica di Fiorenzo Magni a causa delle spinte ricevute in salita e che costarono il giro a Ezio Cecchi. Bartali fu quindi l'unico tra i big a poter rappresentare l'Italia al Tour de France (Coppi non si riteneva pronto e Magni non era "gradito" ai francesi per ragioni politiche) e venne designato capitano. Messa in piedi una "squadra da quattro soldi", come era stata definita, si apprestò al più grande trionfo della carriera.
Malgrado la non eccelsa squadra, l'astio dei francesi nei confronti degli italiani, e l'età (con i suoi 34 anni era più giovane solo del vincitore del Tour del 1937, Roger Lapebie, che finirà terzo), entrò nella leggenda del Tour. Leggendaria in particolare la sua fuga sulle Alpi che gli consentì di vincere la Cannes-Briançon, attraverso il Colle d'Allos, il Colle di Vars e il Colle dell'Izoard (dove è ricordato con una stele), recuperando gli oltre venti minuti di svantaggio che lo separavano da Louison Bobet. Il giorno successivo vinse nuovamente nella tappa Briançon-Aix-les-Bains, di 263 km, attraverso i colli del Lautaret, del Galibier e della Croix-de-Fer, conquistando la maglia gialla.
Secondo molti, l'impresa di Bartali aiutò a distogliere l'attenzione dall'attentato di cui era stato vittima Palmiro Togliatti, allora segretario del PCI, avvenimento che aveva provocato una grande tensione politica e sociale in Italia, che rischiava di sfociare in una guerra civile.[6] Si dice che siano stati Alcide De Gasperi e Giulio Andreotti a telefonare allo stesso Bartali per incitarlo, chiedendogli un'impresa epica che potesse rasserenare gli animi. Al rientro dalla Francia venne ricevuto dallo stesso De Gasperi, che gli chiese cosa avrebbe voluto in regalo per quell'impresa: Bartali, si racconta, chiese di non pagare più le tasse.[6]
L'anno si chiuse con il disastroso campionato del mondo su strada di Valkenburg in cui lui e Coppi, strafavoriti, anziché collaborare rimasero nelle retrovie controllandosi a vicenda, e si ritirarono tra la delusione dei tanti immigrati italiani. [modifica] Gli ultimi anni (1949-1954) Bartali alla vigilia della Milano-Sanremo del 1950
Nel 1949 giunse secondo nel Giro d'Italia vinto da Coppi ed aiutò il grande Fausto nella vittoria al Tour de France, giungendo egli stesso secondo.
Nel 1950 vinse una terribile Milano-Sanremo sotto il diluvio e fu costretto al ritiro al Tour mentre lui e Magni conducevano la corsa, causa l'aggressione dei tifosi francesi sul Col d'Auspin.
Quarto nei Tour del 1951 e del 1952, corse come "secondo" di Coppi, vinse a trentotto anni il suo ultimo grande titolo con il Campionato Italiano.
Nel 1953, dopo aver vinto a trentanove anni il Giro della Toscana ebbe un incidente stradale che rischiò di lasciarlo senza la gamba destra per cancrena. Dopo pochi mesi però il toscano rientrò in scena alla Milano-Sanremo. Anche se non colse un grande risultato la folla fu tutta per lui.
A Città di Castello, dove passò diversi mesi da sfollato protetto dalla popolazione, volle concludere la sua attività da professionista, correndo in un circuito creato apposta per l'occasione nel 1954. La piastrella del Muretto di Alassio autografata da Bartali [modifica] Dopo la fine della carriera sportiva
Nel 1959 aveva ingaggiato nella sua squadra Fausto Coppi, allora in declino, con l'obiettivo di rilanciarlo. Coppi aveva invitato il suo ex-rivale e ora team-manager nel famoso viaggio in Alto Volta che avrebbe finito per costare la vita al campione piemontese, ma Bartali rinunciò volendo passare i momenti liberi da gare con la famiglia, composta dalla amatissima moglie Adriana e da tre figli, Andrea, Luigi e Bianca.
Negli anni seguenti il fiorentino ha via via rarefatto la sua presenza nel mondo del grande ciclismo, non esitando però a lanciare strali contro quelli che sarebbero stati i "mali" di questo sport: il doping, la corruzione e gli ingaggi troppo alti. Nel 1991 condusse alcune puntate del TG satirico Striscia la Notizia impiegando una delle sue frasi più celebri "Gli è tutto sbagliato, gli è tutto da rifare!".
Si è spento per cause naturali il 5 maggio 2000.
Il 25 aprile 2006 il Presidente della Repubblica Carlo Azeglio Ciampi ha consegnato alla moglie, la Signora Adriana, la medaglia d'oro al valor civile per aver aiutato e salvato tanti ebrei durante la Seconda guerra mondiale. [modifica] Palmarès

Gino Bartali, Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI[1] (born Ponte a Ema, Florence, Italy, 18 July 1914, died Florence, 5 May 2000[2]) was the most renowned Italian cyclist before the Second World War, having won the Giro d'Italia twice (in 1936 and 1937) and the Tour de France in 1938. His second and last Tour de France victory in 1948 gave him the largest gap between victories in the race.[3] Contents [hide]

[edit] Origins The native house of Gino Bartali at Ponte a Ema, Florence
Gino Bartali was the third son of four children of a smallholder,[4] Torello Bartali. He was powerfully built, with a broad nose and a boxer's face.[5] He earned pocket money by selling raffia to makers of covers for wine bottles. He began work in a bicycle shop when he was 13. He started racing at 13, became a promising amateur and turned professional in 1935 when he was 21. He was Italian champion the next year. [edit] Professional career
Bartali won a stage of that same year's Giro d'Italia and was King of the Mountains, the first of seven times he won the title in the Giro. He was 20. In 1936, before he turned 22, he won the Giro and the Giro di Lombardia, although his season was marred when his brother, Giulio,died in a racing accident on 14 June.[6] Bartali came close to giving up cycling.
He was persuaded to return and in 1937 won the Giro victory again. His reputation outside Italy was that he was yet another Italian who couldn't ride well beyond his country. There was some truth in the claim. The writer Tim Hilton said: "Bartali was essentially an Italian cyclist, a champion who rode within sight of his own people, and was uneasy when the Tour de France travelled north of Paris. He never disputed the northern classics."[7] Stung by the claim, he rode the Tour de France in 1937. He got off to a bad start, losing more than eight minutes by the third stage and more than ten by the Ballon d'Alsace, a mountain in the Vosges. There he came back to life and led by 1m 14s over the rest and by enough over the leaders that he took the leader's jersey that night in Grenoble. But that was the end of his race. He and two helpers, Jules Rossi and Francesco Camusso, were riding a wooden bridge over the river Colau when Rossi skidded. Bartali rode into a parapet and fell into the river. Autograph on the muretto of Alassio
Roger Lapébie wrote: "In the valley that leads to Briançon, I saw the accident to the maillot jaune, Bartali. The narrow and bumpy road ran along the foot of a rock. Suddenly Rossi, who was leading, took a bend badly, braked and his back wheel hit the parapet of a bridge. Bartali, who was beside Rossi, couldn't get clear and I saw him fall over the bridge and into the little river three metres below."[8] Camusso pulled him out. Bartali was cut to his arm and knee and had trouble breathing because of a blow to the chest. He rode on to the end of the day, often pushed by his helpers. He finished 10 minutes behind the rest but kept his lead.
He got through the Alps, by then having lost his jersey, and retired in Marseille. Before he dropped out, he warned the organiser, Henri Desgrange, who said: "You are the first rider to come to see me before dropping out. You're a good man [un brave garçon], Gino. We'll see each other again next year and you'll win."[3]
He did return in 1938 and overcame the teamwork of the Belgians, the cold and rain and a puncture on the Col de l'Iseran. He won the hardest stage, from Digne to Briançon by more than five minutes. The radio commentator Georges Briquet, after he had seen the crowds of Italians greeting Bartali with green-white-red flags said: "These people had found a superman. Outside Bartali's hotel at Aix-les-Bains, an Italian general was shouting 'Don't touch him - he's a god.'" A public subscription started in his name in Italy and Benito Mussolini was among the contributors.
The approaching war led Italy not to send a team in 1939.
Bartali won the Giro d'Italia twice before the war - 1936 and 1937 - and once after it (1946). He won classics such as Milan – San Remo, the Giro di Lombardia and the Züri-Metzgete. His most famous victory was the 1948 Tour de France. [edit] 1948 Tour
Winning [1948] was for him a simple formality. Not only was he the best climber, at the age of 34, but he was the fastest man on the flat. Ten years after his first Parc des Princes lap of honour he rode another with the victor's bouquet. Gino could feel really proud, for he had won seven stages. And he won them in the heroic manner of the legendary giants of yesteryear Tours. He took the opening stage, then two in succession entering the Pyrenees, then a great climax of three successive Alpine stages. Bartali won that 1948 Tour not by a handful of seconds but by over 26 minutes from runner-up Briek Schotte. René de Latour,[9]
Bartali returned to the Tour in 1948 to find that many riders he had known had died in the war and that there were as many more who had started racing since he stopped (see below for Bartali's war record). He was so worried that he spent an evening memorising two dozen riders he didn't know. The Tour started in a rainstorm and Bartali found he could identify nobody because the whole field was wearing waterproofs. He took his chance and found he was with Briek Schotte. The two finished together at Trouville and Bartali took the yellow jersey.[10][11]
It was during that Tour that the leader of the Italian communist paty, Palmiro Togliatti, was shot in the neck by a sniper as he was leaving the parliament building. The writer Bernard Chambaz said:
History and myth united, and a miracle if you like, because that evening Bartali got a phone call at his hotel. In a bad mood, dubious, he didn't want to answer. But someone whispered that it was Alcide de Gasperi, his old friend from Catholic Action, now parliamentary president, who told him that Palmiro Togliatti, secretary-general of the communist party, had been shot at and had survived by a miracle. The situation in the peninsula was very tense amid the ravages of the Cold War. Italy needed Bartali to do what he best knew how to do, to win stages.[6]
The communists had occupied factories and radio and television stations and angry rows in parliament came close to blows. A revolt was looming. And then Bartali won three stages in a row and led the Tour by 14 minutes. An obituary says:
Just as it seemed the communists would stage a full-scale revolt, a deputy[12] ran into the chamber shouting 'Bartali's won the Tour de France!' All differences were at once forgotten as the feuding politicians applauded and congratulated each other on a cause for such national pride. That day, with immaculate timing, Togliatti awoke from his coma on his hospital bed, inquired how the Tour was going, and recommended calm. All over the country political animosities were for the time being swept aside by the celebrations and a looming crisis was averted.[5]
The former prime minister, Giulio Andreotti said: "To say that civil war was averted by a Tour de France victory is surely excessive. But it is undeniable that on that 14th of July of 1948, day of the attack on Togliatti, Bartali contributed to ease the tensions."[13] [edit] 1950 Tour
Gino Bartali had a row during the 1950 Tour de France with the French rider, Jean Robic. Newspapers made much of it and the atmosphere was tense. Robic got clear of Bartali on the col d'Aubisque in the Pyrenees. Bartali made up ground over the Tourmalet, took the descent to Sainte-Marie-de-Campan and started up the col d'Aspin. There he caught Robic and the two rode together. The two rubbed shoulders and they fell.
Bartali said French fans by the road were so angry, accusing him of sabotaging Robic's chances, that they punched him and that one threatened him with a knife. Bartali remounted and won the stage. Fiorenzo Magni, leading the Italian 'B' team, the Cadetti, took the yellow jersey. The pair and their teams had barely returned to their hotel when Bartali said he was going home and so, he said, were the two Italian teams.[4] The organisers, Jacques Goddet and Félix Lévitan, went to his hotel, the Hôtel de France, in Lourdes, to dissuade him. Bartali, a cigarette in his mouth, said: "I have no intention of risking my life to a madman." The truth of what happened may never be known: Louison Bobet, who saw the incident on the mountain, said: "I'm pretty sure that in the time it took me to pass him, Bartali wasn't struck, and I think he mistook as blows what was an attempt to get him back in the saddle. A hunt started for the knifeman but all spectators could remember was that a man who had been slicing salami still had his knife in his hand when he went to help.
It then emerged that the Italian teams had been withdrawn by the Italian cycling association. Italian fans grew so angry that a stage due to cross the border to San Remo stopped just short of the Italian border instead, at Menton.[4] The affair escalated to national level when the French foreign minister, Robert Schuman, apologised to his Italian counterpart for what seemed to be no more than a man interrupted in the making of a sandwich.
René de Latour said:
To say that Magni was sore is putting it very mildly indeed. When he spoke to men he could trust, he would say: 'Gino knows what his little game is. He is too clever to ignore the facts that he will be lucky to win this Tour, and he prefers a foreign team win rather than see one of our team succeed, especially me. It was bad enough for him with Coppi winning last year.[9]
[edit] Rivalry with Fausto Coppi
"This mercurial beginner [Fausto Coppi] joined Bartali's team in 1940, and then won the Giro d'ltalia with a massive lead over his team leader. Bartali was astonished and affronted. Henceforward, the two riders were in personal combat - it often seemed that, as fierce rivals, they cared less about winning a race than beating each other." Tim Hilton, 'The Guardian'[7]
Bartali's rivalry with Fausto Coppi divided Italy.[11] Bartali, conservative, was venerated in the rural, agrarian south, while Coppi, more worldly, secular, innovative in diet and training, was hero of the industrial north.
The lives of each came together on 7 January 1940 when Eberrardo Pavesi, head of the Legano team, took on Coppi to ride for Bartali. Bartali thought Coppi "as thin as a mutton bone" but accepted. Their rivalry started when Coppi, the helping hand, won the Giro and Bartali, the star, marshalled the two men's team to chase him. By the 1949 world championship at Valkenburg, South Holland, both climbed off rather than help the other win. The Italian cycling association said: "They have forgotten to honour the Italian prestige they represent. Thinking only of their personal rivalry, they abandoned the race, to the approbation of all sportsmen." They were suspended for three months.[14]
The thaw partly broke when the pair shared a drink bottle during the climb of the Col d'Izoard in the 1952 Tour[15] but the two men fell out over who had offered it. "I did," Bartali insisted. "He never gave me anything.".[16] Their rivalry was the subject of intense coverage and resulted in many epic races.
When professional cycle racing resumed in 1946 after World War II, Bartali narrowly beat Coppi in that year's Giro, while Coppi won Milan – San Remo. Bartali won the Tour de Suisse twice, another Milan – San Remo, and the 1948 Tour de France - a full ten years after his last victory. Coppi took victories in the 1947 Giro d'Italia, the Giro di Lombardia and the Grand Prix des Nations.
Despite the rivalry, perhaps heightened by Coppi's victory in the 1949 Giro, Bartali supported Coppi's bid in the 1949 Tour de France. The two Italian team-mates destroyed the race as a contest in a mountainous Alpine stage over the Col de Vars and Col d'Izoard. When Coppi punctured on the Izoard, Bartali waited for him, then Bartali did the same and Coppi waited. On the final climb to Briançon, Coppi allowed Bartali to win (on his 35th birthday) and take the yellow jersey. But Coppi assumed the maillot jaune the following day after Bartali punctured with 40 km of the stage still to race. Coppi retained the leadership to Paris, while Bartali took second place on the podium.
The 1950 Tour de France saw him lead the Italian team again, with Coppi electing not to contest the race, but having been threatened by frenzied fans the entire Italian team resigned from the race. [edit] Drugs search
Bartali always suspected that Coppi took drugs. On the hairpins of the Col di Bracco, during a stage of the 1946 Giro from Genoa to Montecatini Terme, Coppi drank from a glass phial and threw into the verge. Bartali drove back after the race and found it. He said: “ With the meticulous care of a detective collecting evidence for fingerprinting I picked it up, dropped it into a white envelope and put it carefully in my pocket. The next day I rushed round to my personal doctor and asked him to send the phial to a lab for analysis. Disappointment: no drug, no magic potion. It was nothing more than an ordinary tonic, made in France, that I could have bought without a prescription.[17] ” “ I realised that I should have to try to outsmart him and I devised my own investigation system. The first thing was to make sure I always stayed at the same hotel for a race, and to have the room next to his so I could mount a surveillance. I would watch him leave with his mates, then I would tiptoe into the room which ten seconds earlier had been his headquarters. I would rush to the waste bin and the bedside table, go through the bottles, flasks, phials, tubes, cartons, boxes, suppositories – I swept up everything. I had become so expert in interpreting all these pharmaceuticals that I could predict how Fausto would behave during the course of the stage. I would work out, according to the traces of the product I found, how and when he would attack me.[17] ” [edit] Bartali in wartime Piazza Gino Bartali in Florence
Bartali has earned respect for his work in helping Jews who were being persecuted by the Nazis during the time of the Italian Social Republic. It emerged in December 2010 that Bartali had hidden a Jewish family in his cellar and according to one of the survivors, by doing so saved their lives [18]
Bartali used his fame to carry messages and documents to the Italian Resistance.[19][20] Bartali cycled from Florence through Tuscany, Umbria, and Marche, sometimes traveling as far afield as Rome, all the while wearing the racing jersey emblazoned with his name. Neither the Fascist police nor the German troops risked discontent by arresting him.
Giorgio Nissim, a Jewish accountant from Pisa,[19] was a member of DELASEM,[21] founded by the Union of the Israelitic Communities to help Jewish Italians escape persecution. The network in Tuscany was discovered in autumn 1943 and all members except Nissim sent to concentration camps. He met Pope Pius XII and, with the help of the Archbishop of Genoa, the Franciscan Friars and others he reorganized DELASEM and helped 800 escape.
Nissim died in 2000. His sons found from his diaries that Bartali had used his fame to help. Nissim and the Oblati Friars of Lucca forged documents and needed photographs of those they were helping. Bartali used to leave Florence in the morning, pretending to train, rode to a convent in which the Jews were hiding, collected their photographs and rode back to Nissim. Bartali used his position to learn about raids on safehouses.[22][23]
Bartali was eventually taken to Villa Triste in Florence. The SD and the Italian RSS office, Mario Carità questioned Bartali, threatening his life.[23] Bartali simply answered "I do what I feel [in my heart]".
Bartali continued with the Assisi Underground. In 1943, he led Jewish refugees towards the Swiss Alps himself. He cycled pulling a wagon with a secret compartment, telling patrols it was just part of his training. Bartali told his son Andrea only that "One does these things and then that's that".[23] [edit] Climbing style
Bartali was a good climber and a pioneer of derailleur gears. His style was unusual: he rarely danced on the pedals and often stayed in the saddle throughout a 15 km climb. When others attacked, he stayed in the saddle but changed up gear, to a sprocket three teeth smaller.[citation needed]
He rode smoothly on mountains but every now and then freewheeled, always with his right foot lowered with his weight on it. Then a second or two later he would start pedalling again.[citation needed]
I have never seen a sports hero so adored. I remember times when Gino could not get out of a hotel even, such was the crush of fans waiting to see him. All the time there would be the roar of shouts which he knew so well, which was really music in his ears: ' Gi-no, Gi-no, Gi-no... ' During the Tour of Italy, Bartali always needed a box of wax balls to stop his ears when he was in bed. Without them there would have been no peace; For right through the night the row kept on, under the window of his room. René de Latour,[9] [edit] Personality and standing
Bartali grew up in a religious family in Tuscany, and his belief earned him the nickname "Gino the Pious". He prayed before meal and resented when team-mates swore. In contrast, Coppi grew up in Piedmont in the north and was not religious at all. Bartali was proud that Pope John XXIII had asked him to teach him to ride a bicycle.[5] He made no secret that he supported the Catholic-leaning Christian Democratic Party but his personality ensured that he was forgiven by the rival communists.[5] Tim Hilton wrote: "Bartali was a genuinely religious man, making his devotions public and, in return, becoming the Vatican's favourite sportsman - he was personally blessed by three popes. He would set up shrines in his hotel bedrooms when he rode the Giro and the Tour de France, and, on some mountains, children from summer camps sang canticles as he pedalled past, a priest conducting their infant worship."[7]
Bartali was a chain-smoker and frequently pessimistic. One of his customary phrases was "Everything's wrong; we'll have to start all over again."[5] The best the historian Pierre Chany could say of him was that while he often boasted of what he had done on mountains when nobody was there to see him, he had the grace never to tell the story differently.
Bartali lived at 47 via Chantigiano, Florence, in a home full of souvenirs. [edit] Death
Bartali stopped racing when he was 40, after being injured in a road accident.[4] By then he had lost much of his money. His wealth was "uncertain", said René de Latour.[9]
Bartali had a heart bypass operation and then died of a heart attack, having received the last rites 10 days earlier. He left his wife, Adriana, two sons and a daughter.The prime minister, Giuliano Amato, sent condolences. Romano Prodi, president of the European Commission, called him "a symbol of the most noble sportsmanship." The Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI) called two days of mourning and silences were observed before sports events. [edit] Career highlights

Trustworthy Objective Complete Well-written I am highly knowledgeable about this topic (optional) Categories: 1914 births | 2000 deaths | People from Florence | Italian cyclists | Tour de France winners | Italian Tour de France stage winners | Giro d'Italia stage winners Roma - (Adnkronos) - A raccontarlo a 'Pagine Ebraiche' è Giorgio Goldenberg, 78enne di origine fiumana che fu accolto con i suoi nello scantinato del grande campione. Bartali durante la guerra fingeva oltretutti di allenarsi celando nel sellino della bicicletta nuovi e salvifici documenti di identità che fece recapitare a circa 800 ebrei
Roma, 27 dic. - (Adnkronos) - Il grande ciclista Gino Bartali salvò una famiglia ebrea di Fiume nascondendola nello scantinato di sua proprietà a Firenze. Lo rivela un articolo pubblicato sul mensile cartaceo dell'Ucei 'Pagine Ebraiche', in distribuzione nei prossimi giorni. A raccontare la sua storia è Giorgio Goldenberg, 78enne ebreo di origine fiumana, che ora vive a Kfar Saba, in Israele. In quella cantina fiorentina con affaccio su un piccolo cortile interno - si legge nell'articolo di Adam Smulevich - Giorgio ebbe modo di nascondersi insieme ai genitori negli ultimi mesi di occupazione tedesca grazie a uno dei suoi proprietari, un agile trentenne di Ponte a Ema, campione sui pedali e nella vita. Quel signore si chiamava Gino Bartali, spiega Goldenberg a 'Pagine Ebraiche' e aggiunge: La cantina era molto piccola. Una porta dava su un cortile, ma non potevo uscire perché avrei corso il rischio di farmi vedere dagli inquilini dei palazzi adiacenti. Dormivano in quattro in un letto matrimoniale: io, il babbo, la mamma e mia sorella Tea. E' stato proprio il mensile, che raggiunge tutti gli ebrei italiani, ad aprile scorso a lanciare un appello per trovare testimonianze utili per piantare un albero in onore di Gino Bartali allo Yad Vashem, uno dei luoghi della Memoria più sacri per il popolo ebraico. Bartali - si legge nell'articolo - fingeva di allenarsi per le grandi corse a tappe che sarebbero riprese dopo il conflitto, ma in realtà pedalava per la libertà, celando nel sellino della bicicletta nuovi e salvifici documenti di identità che fece recapitare a circa 800 ebrei nascosti in case e conventi tra Toscana e Umbria. L'appello di 'Pagine Ebraiche' ha portato finora a due testimonianze cartacee a cui si affiancano adesso le parole di Giorgio Goldenberg.

Coppi alla fine vinse il Giro. La corsa, già disertata dagli stranieri, si chiuse il giorno prima dell'entrata in guerra dell'Italia, e la guerra sancì per cinque anni l'interruzione della carriera per i due campioni. [modifica] La guerra
Costretto a lavorare come riparatore di ruote di biciclette, risulta che Bartali, fra il settembre 1943 e il giugno 1944 si sia adoperato in favore dei rifugiati ebrei, compiendo numerosi viaggi in bicicletta dalla stazione di Terontola-Cortona fino ad Assisi, trasportando documenti e foto tessere nascosti nei tubi del telaio della bicicletta affinché una stamperia segreta potesse falsificare i documenti necessari alla fuga di ebrei rifugiati, tanto che nel 2005 il Presidente della Repubblica Carlo Azeglio Ciampi gli conferì la medaglia d'oro al merito civile per aver salvato circa 800 cittadini ebrei.[4]. Ricercato dalla polizia fascista sfollò a Città di Castello, dove rimase cinque mesi, nascosto da parenti ed amici .

Coppi won the Giro in the end. The race, already deserted by foreigners, was closed the day before the entry into the war, and the war sanctioned for five years, career breaks for the two samples. [edit] The war
Forced to work as a repairer of wheels of bicycles, that Bartali, between September 1943 and June 1944 has been used in favor of Jewish refugees, making numerous trips by bicycle from the station Terontola-Cortona to Assisi, carrying documents and photos cards hidden in the tubes of the bicycle frame so that a printing secret could forge the necessary documents to the flight of Jewish refugees, so that in 2005 the President of the Republic Carlo Azeglio Ciampi awarded him a gold medal for civil merit to have saved about 800 citizens Jews. [4]. Wanted by the fascist police sfollò in Città di Castello, where he remained five months, hidden by relatives and friends.

Geni's Ceo Message
Dear Enrique (Henri V) Raúl,
I’m writing to you to let you know that we appreciate you as a valuable member of the Geni community and wanted you to be among the first to know some exciting news.
We created Geni in 2007 with one big idea – discovering your family history is better when you are collaborating with your relatives. Over the last five years we’ve seen the power of this approach, with millions of users working together to build a single family tree that connects over 65 million people.
In this spirit of collaboration, I’m pleased to announce that Geni is joining the MyHeritage family!
MyHeritage was founded in 2003 by Gilad Japhet and a team of passionate genealogy enthusiasts in Israel. In the last 9 years it has expanded to Europe and the USA, creating a massive family history network with 65 million registered users and more than 1.35 billion family tree profiles.
Sharing much of Geni’s vision, MyHeritage offers free tools for building family trees, access to historical records, and DNA tests. MyHeritage is well known for its technologies to match family trees to other family trees (Smart Matches) and to historical records (Record Matches). In addition, MyHeritage offers free genealogy desktop software (Family Tree Builder); free mobile apps for iPhone, iPad and Android, which work in sync with their Website on MyHeritage.com; and a search engine for historical records (SuperSearch).
You can see why we’re excited to join the MyHeritage family. MyHeritage is fully committed to Geni’s vision and you’ll see a number of benefits as a Geni user over the coming weeks and months.
Here are some of the benefits that you’ll see immediately:
Unlimited profile adding is now free – All users can add as many profiles as they’d like to their tree without upgrading to a paid account. No more limits to the size of your tree.
Merging is now free – All users can now merge duplicate profiles in their tree (privacy and permission rules still apply). This is great if your tree has been merged with another tree, or if you’d like to connect to the World Family Tree.
Relationship paths are now free – Discover your relationship to historical figures and celebrities, even very distant relatives.
Free family tree chart downloads – All users can now download a high quality chart of their family tree to their computer at no charge. These are great for sending to relatives or for printing at home as beautiful tree posters.
No ads - We’ve removed ads for all users for a cleaner interface with less distraction.
More privacy – living people who have not joined Geni will become private and will not be searchable on Google.
Together we are working on many more great features that we’ll roll out over the coming months. For example, we’re working together to integrate MyHeritage’s Record Matching technology directly into Geni. This will significantly improve the accuracy of our tree matches by using advanced algorithms including name synonyms, cross-language matching, and additional criteria. In addition, we will be able to intelligently match Geni profiles against MyHeritage’s billions of tree profiles and records, including newspaper and census records.
We’re excited to roll out these changes and more, and to continue to work toward providing the best collaborative genealogy service available. Most important, we hope that these tools will help you to discover more about your family history and meet new relatives.
The entire Geni Team has joined the MyHeritage family, and we will continue to operate out of our Los Angeles offices, focused as before on building Geni.com but now with all of the global resources of MyHeritage behind us. I hope that you are excited about this as myself and the rest of the Geni Team.
For more information please visit our FAQ.
Go to Geni to try your new features now.
Thanks again for being a valuable part of the Geni community and we look forward to many more years of collaboration!
Sincerely,
Noah Tutak
CEO, Geni

Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (15 December 1832 – 27 December 1923) was a French civil engineer and architect. A graduate of the École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures, he made his name with various bridges for the French railway network, most famously the Garabit viaduct. He is best known for the world-famous Eiffel Tower, built for the 1889 Universal Exposition in Paris, France. After his retirement from engineering, Eiffel concentrated his energies on research into meteorology and aerodynamics, making important contributions in both fields.
Gustave Eiffel was born in Dijon, in the Côte-d'Or department of France, the first child of Alexandre and Catherine Eiffel. The family was descended from Jean-René Bönickhausen, who emigrated from Marmagen and settled in Paris at the beginning of the eighteenth century.[1] The family adopted the name Eiffel as a reference to the Eifel mountains in the region from which it had come. Although the family always used the name Eiffel, Gustave's name was registered at birth as Bönickhausen,[2] and was not formally changed to Eiffel until 1880.[3]
At the time of Gustave's birth his father, an ex-soldier, was working as an administrator for the French Army but shortly after his birth his mother expanded a charcoal business she had inherited from her parents to include a coal-distribution business and soon afterwards his father gave up his job to assist her. Due to his mother's business commitments, Gustave spent his childhood living with his grandmother, but nevertheless remained close to his mother, who was to remain an influential figure until her death in 1878. The business was successful enough for Catherine Eiffel to sell the business in 1843 and retire on the proceeds.[4] Eiffel was not a studious child, and thought his classes at the Lycée Royal in Dijon boring and a waste of time, although in his last two years, influenced by his teachers for history and literature, he began to study seriously, so that he managed to gain his baccalauréats in humanities and science.[5] An important part in his education was played by his uncle, Jean-Baptiste Mollerat, who had invented a process for distilling vinegar and had a large chemical works near Dijon, and one of his uncle's friends, the chemist Michel Perret. Both men spent a lot of time with the young Eiffel, teaching him about everything from chemistry and mining to theology and philosophy.
Eiffel went on to attend the Collège Sainte-Barbe in Paris, in order to prepare for the difficult entrance exams set by the most important engineering colleges in France. Eiffel had hoped to enter the École Polytechnique, but his tutors decided that his performance was not good enough, and instead he qualified for entry to the École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures in Paris, which offered a rather more vocational training.[6] During his second year he chose to specialize in chemistry, and graduated 13th of the 80 candidates in 1855. This was the year that Paris hosted the first World's Fair, and Eiffel was bought a season ticket by his mother
