Transporting the Trofeo is just one of Trenitalia’s initiatives for the Giro d'Italia, of which the transport company is this year's Official Green Carrier.
For the third year running, the FS Italiane Group supports the great Italian cycling season, in the conviction that the values of sport go hand-in-hand with the enhancement of the territory and sustainability.

Trenitalia is even present in all Giro d’Italia villages, with a stand at the start and finish of the various legs.
Also this year, Trenitalia is taking part with its team of cyclists in the Giro-E, the eco-sustainable event dedicated to electric bicycles that takes place parallel to the Corsa Rosa and offers fans of cycling the chance to enjoy a thrilling experience, riding part of the route of the professional race.
