The Coppa Collecchio is an annual one-day cycling race held in the Collecchio commune of Province of Parma, Italy. It is organized by G.S. Virtus Collecchio. In 2020 the race was cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic.^[1]

The route

Every year the route is almost the same. It commences in the square in front of Collecchio's historic Town Hall (Municipio). It features a demanding course with eight loops through the Parco naturale regionale dei Boschi di Carrega [ it ] and three loops through Talignano, including a notable GPM (Gran Premio della Montagna) ascent at Segalara. The race concludes at the starting point. ^[2]

Book about Coppa Collecchio

In September 2016, a book was launched to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the event. The book "Coppa Collecchio, 80 years on two wheels" (Italian : Coppa Collecchio, 80 anni sulle due ruote) commemorates the rich history of the Coppa Collecchio cycling race, one of Italy's oldest, and includes details on winners and key cyclists. The event, now focused on elite and under-23 categories, has played a pivotal role in the careers of many cyclists. The presentation featured Stefano Risoli, President of G.S. Virtus Collecchio, Paolo Bianchi, Collecchio's Mayor, and Silvia Dondi, Sports Councilor of the Collecchio Municipality.^[3]
