Luigi Ganna (1883-1957) was an Italian cyclist. He was also called the 'king of the mire'. He used to be a bricklayer, for which he had to cycle 95 kilometers to work. He won the first edition of the Tour of Italy, which started on May 13, 1909, with 129 riders. Ganna received the sum of 5,325 lire for that victory, equivalent today to 15,000 euros. The match was decided on points, but if it had been decided in time, the Italian Giovanni Rossignoli would have won. In 1909 Ganna achieved three stage victories, in 1910 also three stage victories, but he was third after Carlo Galetti and Eberardo Pavesi, all three Atala-Continental riders. Luigi Ganna was very fast and regular, in 1908 he set the world hour record, which he managed to hold for six years. In 1909 he also won Milan-San Remo. Ganna also started three times, from 1907 to 1909, in Henri Desgrange's 'big' Tour de France. Twice he gave up, in 1908 he was fifth. After a few more beautiful places of honor in Milano-Sanremo, Ganna, like so many others, saw an end to his career because of the First World War....

The commission was awarded to a French sculptor, Theodore Riviere, who did almost all of the sculpture in France.
