Velodromo Vigorelli

[2] The stadium has also hosted music events, including the Beatles' concert on June 24, 1965.

[3] It was the site of a concert by English rock band Led Zeppelin which took place during the band's 1971 European tour, well known for its descent into a violent riot between concert attendees and the local police.

In 1935 Giuseppe Olmo took the record by covering 45 km (28 mi), exceeding the distance set at Sint-Truiden in Belgium by 313 m (1,027 ft).

From 1936 Maurice Richard; Frans Slaats; Maurice Archambaud; François Faure; Fausto Coppi; Jacques Anquetil; Ercole Baldini and Roger Rivière added a further 2,257 m (7,405 ft) to the record, until the Olympic track in Rome became faster.

[7][8] This record stood until on September 23, 2000 at Manchester velodrome it was beaten by Simon Keeton and Jon Rickard of Rutland Cycling Club.
