| Description |
"The White Lady has character and personality, she's charming and seductive, courageous and determined. She's also tough and raw. In the world of cycling, she's a problem."
The story that scandalized postwar Italy and transformed a woman into a symbol of freedom. Giulia Occhini, known as the White Lady, was the protagonist of the love affair with the great champion Fausto Coppi. A love born in secret, opposed by the Church, the law, and public opinion, but lived with courage and determination, right up to the ultimate consequences. For the first time, this biography reveals who Giulia was: not just the legendary lover, but a free, modern, and headstrong woman who chose love at the cost of everything: family, reputation, future. From her arrest to her trials, from her overwhelming passion to her most intimate pain, this is a powerful and human portrait of a figure who remained in the shadows for too long.
