Other info:
\n<\/strong>In 1893, \u00a0when Bianchi had already changed headquarters for space reasons, Edoardo was summoned by the Savoia family, to teach Queen Margherita the art of cyclism. \u00a0The lessons took place in the gardens of the Royal villa in Monza, and the Queen had a special Bianchi made by Edoardo himself at her disposal<\/strong>, it is said that it featured a crystal chain guard. Many other Italian and foreign noblewomen wanted to learn how to pedal (the duchess of Genova and Aosta, Queen of Napoli and the princess of Portugal). In 1895 King Umberto I\u00b0, decided to honor Bianchi with the title of \u201cSupplier of the Royal Family\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0boasting the Savoia coat of arms<\/strong>\u00a0that appears on Bianchi\u2019s vehicles.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n \r\n
