Dino Buzzati at work during the 1949 Giro

“For it’s daily coverage of the 1949 Giro d’Italia bicycle race, the Italian evening newspaper “Corriere della Sera” sent, not a sports writer as one might have expected, but Dino Buzzati; journalist, author, poet, painter, and playwright. Though not an expert on the strategies, tactics or history of Italy’s most popular sporting event, Buzzati quickly grasped the significance of the Giro’s traditions and legends, and the important place it held in the hearts and minds of the Italian people.”

Aldo Ross posted day by day coverage of the 1949 Giro d’Italia on his website.

I think it might be the lower slopes of the Muur in Gerardsbergen — the part through the town.
