Great talent on two wheels and a great heart; that’s who Gino Bartali was , who lived in Italy in a dark period dominated by Nazi law, who managed to make a difference with the means he had.
A bicycle and a lot of courage were enough to help about 800 Jews by saving their lives from an unjust fate. Today this merit is finally officially recognized and will be rewarded with a public honor symbolically conferred on him in Jerusalem.
Two days before the start of the Giro d’Italia , which is scheduled for May 4 in Jerusalem, a ceremony will be held with the aim of giving honorary citizenshipto Gino Bartali, elected “just among the nations in 2013”.
For Israel it is an important year: 2018 marks the 70th anniversary of the birth of the Jewish state and is the year that sees Jerusalem as the city where the cycling race will begin. On the occasion of these two great anniversaries, Yad Vashem, the national body for the memory of the Shoah of Israel, has decided to confer a certificate as special as it is rare on the Italian cyclist, for his commitment to the salvation of the Jews.

Museum spokesman Simmy Allen said:
The law on the Righteous of Nations allows Yad Vashem the prerogative of conferring also, in particular cases, an honorary citizenship of Israel to those who were still alive, or posthumously to his relatives
. , thanks to the perseverance of the son who has never stopped divulging his father’s commitment.
The last time this honor was granted dates back to 2007 and it is therefore a great honor for Bartali’s family to preside over this ceremony in honor of a great man who, risking his own life, used the bicycle not only for training, but also to bring hope to the Jews.
His moral duty forced him to hide secretlyof false documents inside the frame of the bike and then take them to the bishop of Florence who could thus give a new beginning to these people who otherwise would have died.
A light during the Nazi occupation in Italy that gave back the life to about 800 people. For Israel to honor him is a must and on May 2 he will officially become an honorary citizen.
The cyclists competing for the 101st Giro d’Italia will also take part in the ceremony and will perform in honor of Gino Bartali, their predecessor, who represents an important point of reference not only on a human level. Bartali, in fact, in his career has also won three editions of the Giro d’Italia and two of the Tour de France.
In his glory years he was called Ginettaccio, today we like to remember him with the epithet of silent hero, who, acting in the shadows, showed that “Good is done, but it is not said. And certain medals hang on the soul, not on the jacket “.
