The anticipation for Stage 17 of the Giro d’Italia 2026 in Cassano d’Adda builds day by day through a calendar of initiatives involving the entire community.
In the months leading up to the official start, the town comes alive with cultural, sports and recreational events designed to showcase the territory and share the spirit of the Giro: meetings, exhibitions, school activities, sports events, and entertainment open to citizens, families, and businesses.
A path of engagement that turns anticipation into participation, allowing Cassano d’Adda to experience the excitement of the Giro well before the Pink Caravan passes through.
