Edoardo Bianchi began working at a very young age and in 1885, just twenty years old, he opened his first workshop. <\/span>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;p&#8221; text_size=&#8221;fontsize-751231&#8243; text_weight=&#8221;500&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;969583&#8243;]<span class=\"font-394878\">The first shop and workshop<\/span>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=&#8221;173951&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;three-two&#8221; media_title_uppercase=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;734809&#8243;][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;p&#8221; text_size=&#8221;fontsize-933420&#8243; text_weight=&#8221;400&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;155640&#8243;]<span class=\"font-394878\">The premises he rented in Via Nirone were a stone&#8217;s throw from the center of Milan. He sold velocipedes but also &#8220;surgical instruments&#8221; in what the sign announced was a Mechanical Workshop, because the bikes were only a part of the objects that were inside. <strong>In the century that was ending, the first velocipede challenges began<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-394878\">And Bianchi was already a protagonist.

For some it was a necessity, for other sports,<strong> for Edoardo Bianchi the world of cycling was passion and also curiosity in mechanics<\/strong> and in 1897 he also experimented with a vehicle with an internal combustion engine. A good and far-sighted choice: motor vehicles with our brand would have been produced until the sixties.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p>The passion spread and Bianchi was already a recognized name that climbed climbs and society. <strong>Even the king and queen of Italy were intrigued by this pedal vehicle that seemed to take you so far without too much effort<\/strong>. They quickly became passionate and it was Edoardo Bianchi who put them in the saddle who personally followed them on their first pedal strokes. His effort was well rewarded since Bianchi became &#8220;supplier of the Royal House&#8221;. The brand grew more and more, so much so that in 1907 the economic crisis did not prevent the birth of the joint-stock company called Societ\u00e0 Anonima Edoardo Bianchi, which thus reached 400 employees.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Bianchi had seen the bicycle transformed and contributed to the development<\/strong>. That first model, built with the large wheel on the front, was covered with the dust carried by the wind of the new century, blown by innovation and technological research.[\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; row_height_use_pixel=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;743731&#8243; container_limit_width=&#8221;772px&#8221;][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_height=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;p&#8221; text_size=&#8221;fontsize-751231&#8243; text_weight=&#8221;500&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;119259&#8243;]<span class=\"font-394878\">Plant in Viale Abruzzi, Milan<\/span>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=&#8221;173953&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;three-two&#8221; media_title_uppercase=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;105170&#8243;][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;p&#8221; text_size=&#8221;fontsize-933420&#8243; text_weight=&#8221;400&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;153962&#8243;]In the dark silence of the Great War that was coming, <strong>Bianchi became synonymous with mechanical efficiency and speed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The name, already strong, came to be the practically sole supplier of the Bersaglieri, a symbol of speed par excellence.
