#OTD 3 April 1896, the first issue of Gazzetta dello Sport was published in Milan. It combined two newspapers about cycling—Il Cicilista and La Tripletta—and expanded coverage to include other popular sports, including horseracing, fencing, mountaineering, and the first modern Olympics, which took place in Athens in April 1896. First published on green paper, but also briefly on yellow and white, it switched to its signature pink paper in 1899, earning it the nickname "Rosea."

A thing I love about @luccacomicsandgames taking place now until 3 November in the Tuscan city of Lucca is that it proves that Italy is more than just a lot of old ruins and churches. Though I love how this cyborg is juxtaposed here against the 14C façade of the church of San Michele in Foro Lucca Comics is the second largest celebration of its kind in the world and the largest in Europe. @thelazydesigner #italynews #tuscany #luccacg19 Lucca Comics, Tuscany, Michele, Statue Of Liberty, Florence, Facade, November, Celebration
