The Trofeo Baracchi was a major Italian cycling race that ran for 50 years.

[1] It was created by Giacomo Baracchi, in memory of his father Angelo who was a great cycle racing fan.

Originally (from 1941) an amateur individual time trial, from 1944 it was open to professionals and became a major event on the European calendar.

Initially it took place every two years but from 1949 it became an annual event and adopted the two person team time trial format.

[2] The last running of the event in 1991 reverted to a solo time trial and also held as the Grand Prix des Nations.
