“Giro d’Italia. Dreaming in Pink”. The docuseries on the Corsa Rosa out now on HBO Max

27/04/2026

Across five episodes, the series takes viewers deep inside the race—and into the soul of Italy itself.

 

It’s a gripping, emotional journey told from within the peloton, offering a front-row perspective through the eyes of the riders battling it out on the roads of the 108th edition. The docuseries celebrates the Giro, its legacy, and the country it crosses, while powerfully conveying the intensity of the competition—where effort, tactics, and adrenaline define every moment. Stage by stage, riders tackle legendary climbs and iconic cycling landmarks, which spark narrative flashbacks built from archival footage. The feats and champions of the past—from Pantani to Fondriest to Moser—come back to life, interwoven with the present-day race.

 

The series is rich in emotion and drama, from the fight for the Maglia Rosa to stage battles set against some of Italy’s most iconic landscapes: from the trulli of Alberobello to the seafront of Naples, from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to the white roads of Siena, culminating in the finish at Piazza del Campo. Then come the great mountains that define Giro history—Bormio, the Mortirolo, the Colle delle Finestre—where cycling legends were made. After a dramatic final twist, the closing act is a visual triumph: a springtime Rome welcomes the riders for a spectacular finale that, for the first time ever, brings the Giro into the Vatican, where the newly elected Pope Leo XI steps into the square to greet the race’s protagonists.

 

A docuseries that celebrates the Giro d’Italia not just as a sporting event, but as a collective story—one that showcases Italy’s landscapes, culture, and heritage, taking the Corsa Rosa from Italy to the world.
