A defeat worth a thousand victories: the arrival of Dorando Pietri at the London Olympics. First, second, thirty-seventh: in races the important thing is to participate. April 11, 1961: that day the Soviet Yuri Gagarin became the first man to fly in space. Leonardo Da Vinci and his insatiable thirst for knowledge: we will see what the pale flame of a candle suggested to the master.
