From the Great St. Bernard Pass to Rome, an epic journey of over 1.000 kilometers by bike to be completed in just twenty days. For many cyclists, an exciting and adventurous undertaking, but for Paolo Muzi it represents much more than just a physical challenge: it is a personal battle against Parkinson's, the disease that has accompanied him since 2019. Each pedal stroke is an act of resistance, a way to demonstrate that, despite the difficulties, one can still live life to the full, "tremble without fear” and look to the future with courage and determination.
Trembling Without Fear, a Journey of Hope
Despite the Parkinson's diagnosis, Paolo decided not to give up. With extraordinary strength of spirit, he chose to live intensely in the present, without ever giving up the love for his family and the passions that define him.
He transformed his personal battle in a symbol of courage and determination, giving life to “Tremare senza paura” immediately after his retirement, which occurred last May.
