Giuseppe Enrici (2 January 1896 – 1 September 1968) was an Italian professional road racing cyclist. The highlight of his career was winning the 1924 Giro d'Italia.[1]
Enrici was born in Pittsburgh, USA, in an Italian family, which meant he had American citizenship. As a child, his family moved back to Piemonte, and Enrici regained Italican citizenship.[2]
Enrici took third place in the 1922 Giro d'Italia, and when several favourites did not join the 1924 Giro, he was one of the mai ncontenders, and won. He continued to race for four more years, and ended his professional career in 1928.[3]
