La Stampa Sportiva 1903 year II bound volume 51 issues of 52 cycling and more

A rare vintage volume, with bound weekly issues, dedicated to the sports press of 1903, a precious testimony to the early years of Italian sports journalism. The work collects articles, reports, and period photographs on disciplines now partly forgotten or profoundly changed: cycling, cross-country running, fencing, boxing, football (in its primitive form), sailing, and other minor sports.

A fascinating dive into the world of early twentieth-century sport, ideal for sports history enthusiasts, collectors, and sports culture scholars.
