(looking for that pic lead me to this lovely interview, well worth a read: http://www.bikeraceinfo.com/oralhistory/magni.html
I've not done much reading about Magni before. He sounds like a splendid chap.)

Just don't read about his wartime activities.

Oh really? A confirmed Fascist was he?
Coppi's war seemed mostly sort of kind of ok - he avoided the worst of the fighting by being Coppi, and had a smother time as a POW because one of the camp commanders was a cycling fan and got him training again. I think I've remembered that right.
