Trofeo Alfredo Binda-Comune di Cittiglio is a women's professional road bicycle racing event held annually in the comune (municipality) of Cittiglio and nearby comunes located within the Province of Varese in the region of Lombardy in northern Italy.
First held in 1974, Trofeo Alfredo Binda is one of the oldest and most established races in the women's calendar, and has been part of the UCI Women's World Tour since its inception in 2016.




History


The race is named after Italian cyclist Alfredo Binda, who was from Cittiglio. In the 1920s and 1930s, Binda won five editions of the Giro d'Italia, four editions of the Giro di Lombardia and two editions of Milan–San Remo - as well as being world champion three times.
The race was first held as a regional event in 1974. The race became a national event in 1999, before becoming an international event from 2007. In 2008, the race joined the UCI Women's Road World Cup. In 2016, the Trofeo Alfredo Binda became part of the new UCI Women's World Tour. It is one of the biggest races on the women's calendar that does not have a male equivalent.
A junior race (Piccolo Trofeo Alfredo Binda) has been held alongside the race since 1979, with it becoming being part of the UCI Nations Cup from 2015.
The race is well suited for puncheurs and climbers, with two riders winning the race four times - Italian rider Maria Canins (1984, 1985, 1990, 1992), and Dutch rider Marianne Vos (2009, 2010, 2012, 2019). Italian riders have won the event on twenty seven occasions.
