Cycle race starts along route of Suvorov's campaign in Italy
LOMELLO (Italy), May 23 (Itar-Tass) -- A youth cycle race started on
Sunday in Italy along the route of a military campaign under the command
of a great Russian commander Suvorov, who liberated the country from
Napoleon. The cycle race was given a festive start in the town of Lomello,
where Suvorov headed the command headquarters of the joint troops of
Austria, Russia and Italy in May 1799. The archive files, particularly the
minutes of a meeting of the Lomello town council, proved that the Russian
commander dropped in this town in northern Italy and was praying at the
local church before the combat march.
The cycle race will run along four Italian cities:
Piancenza-Tuna-Sarmato-Milan. "The international race team is made up of
14 cyclists, mainly Russian students, who study in Italy under the student
exchange program, two our female cyclists, who got married with Italians
and a young man fond of history from Austria's Innsbruck," the coach of
the race team Vladimir Mishchenko told Itar-Tass on Sunday.
Lomello Mayor Giuseppe Piovera and Russian Railways President Vladimir
Yakunin, who is also the chairman of the Trusteeship Foundation of Andrew
the First Called and the Center of Russian National Glory, gave a symbolic
start to the cycle race. The musicians from the Moscow Suvorov Academy
mounted a festive parade and gave a concert before the race start.
The residents of the Italian town applauded to Russian cadets for
their perfect performance, a valiant military bearing and sparkling and
humorous theatrical scenes.
Yakunin recalled to the Suvorov cadets that their academy is named
after the great Russian commander, "who did not lose a battle and who is
remembered as the liberator and who laid down the foundations for the
unification of the Italian Republic." By the way, Italy celebrates the
150th anniversary of the unification of the country.
The bust of Suvorov was unveiled at the ancient castle Lomello on
Sunday. Russian sculptor Sergei Polegayev has made the bust. A memorial
plaque was unveiled on the castle wall.
The town of Lomello in northern Italy numbers only several thousands
of residents. The major tourist attraction in the town is the castle,
which dates it back to 1417. The St. Mary basilica is also located in the
town. Another ancient church houses the town museum.
