Atala Pirelli 1961 - cycling figurine

This zamak figurine captures the Italian Atala Pirelli team as they raced through the professional peloton during the 1961 season. Hand-crafted in France in small batches, every detail of the team jersey has been faithfully reproduced by hand.

The 1961 season stands as one of the great chapters in European professional cycling. On the roads of the Tour de France, Jacques Anquetil delivered a masterclass, wearing the yellow jersey from stage one all the way to Paris — a display of total dominance that left the peloton in his wake. At the Giro d'Italia, Italian climber Arnaldo Pambianco claimed victory on home roads, to the delight of the tifosi. In this golden era, Italian squads like Atala Pirelli were proud ambassadors of a national cycling industry at its peak.
