I found a few images from a trip I made to the Church/ shrine of the Madonna del Ghisallo with Sportful and Tinkoff Saxo a few years back.
I remember standing next to an old lady praying in the chapel and when she stopped she turned and said to me 'that was my nephew's bike' pointing to a racer on the wall. When she turned and walked out i leaned over to see it was Fabio Casartelli's road bike. It was a memorable moment indeed. To think too, a decade later I would be living in the shadow of the same mountain range that claimed him.
More pics and a few words here:
