Enzo Boiardi was 34 years old when between 16 and 17 October 1971, including the night, at the Galleana stadium in Piacenza (today the Garilli stadium), he challenged his ability to resist, to suffer, to pursue and make a dream come true. Realize the Italian record of the ultramarathon on the track of 24 hours without ever stopping. And the dream came true (the record was officially approved), and the athlete, shy and humble, became a legend.
