Watching the Giro on Wednesday was astonishing, not due
to the riders, but due to footage of the Grande Cretto by Alberto Burri
(1915-1995).
The concrete structure is a memorial to the town of
Gibellina, Sicily. Gibellina was flattened in 1968 by an earthquake that
measured 6.1 magnitude. Covering 8,000 square metres, the memorial follows the
footprint of the original town.
