The Gino Bartali cycling museum is a must for any lovers of bicycles and sports history. The museum dedicated to Gino Bartali is located in Ponte a Ema, where the great champion was born and began his sports career and, after the agreement signed between the Municipal Administration and Associazione Amici del Museo Gino Bartali (Association Friends of Gino Bartali Museum), the management passed to Palazzo Vecchio and the museum was incorporated among Florentine Civic Museums.
The building was completed in 2006 and spreads over three floors covering an area of more than one thousand square meters. The storage of bicycles from different periods is located in the basement, which offers a glimpse of the development of bicycle technology, while the museum itself is located on the first floor, displaying bicycles that belonged to great cycling champions including Stucchi´s bicycle perfectly preserved, the jerseys of historic champions  (Gino Bartali, Fausto Coppi, Franco Bitossi, Alfredo Martini), the bibliographies and trophies of Gino Bartali, to whom an entire hall was dedicated, and also memorabilia pertaining to Bitossi, Boni, Chioccioli, Ciolli, Corrieri, Martini, Poggiali, Tognaccini.  The museum also houses important collections of old newspapers, numerous publications and videos. The walkable roof terrace is well suited to the staging of events.
