The film that I mentioned that started this whole thread is a mini-series produced in 1995 by the Italian state television network RAI. It stars Sergio Castellito as Coppi and Ornella Muti as the 'Dama Bianca'. It was shown over a number of nights on RAI television in 1996. If I am not mistaken the whole mini-series is about 6 hours long. It is quite well made but does not have much cycling content. It is more related to his life and personal drama and not to cycling only. Among the group there is at least a partial copy of this drama.
