Sisters' dowries

I've removed the line "He bought his first bicycle with money handed down from his sisters' dowries.^[1]".

A dowry is money that a woman pays her husband's family. So is brothers may have had dowries to hand down but the sisters would't. 66.55.209.223 (talk) 20:29, 12 June 2010 (UTC)les woodland[reply]

Death

this section could flow better. it starts oddly enough by mentioning the age at which he gives up cycling, and then goes on to mention a bypass operation and dying of a heart attack. after reading this section one is left with the impression that he didn't live much past 40. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.125.85.33 (talk) 20:18, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

source

A good account of his secret wartime work, and background, from the BBC Gino Bartali: How a cyclist's key work saved lives. - 112.119.221.3 (talk) 22:31, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for the source, I needed one for the quote ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 02:45, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Saving lives during Nazi occupation?

Bartali's efforts to save Jewish lives are contested, as John Foot, historian of Italian cycling, writes in a blog post for London Review of Books, San Gino. Al69dente (talk) 13:02, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As documentaries etc. are made on this story, it should be mentioned that this is controversial. Included this in the article with some additional references in as neutral a way possible.. 2A02:1810:2D1B:7200:E93F:236:7C4B:4F25 (talk) 08:46, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
