Pina De Rosa of Team Bifulco was the first woman to finish the first edition of the Cicloscalata Valle delle Delizie, a seven-kilometre uphill cycling race held in San Gennarello di Ottaviano with more than one hundred athletes taking part.

The result was reported by local press following the race and is corroborated by independent local coverage and the published overall classification for the event.

A first edition on Vesuvius slopes

The race took place in San Gennarello di Ottaviano on a seven-kilometre uphill course. According to local coverage, the start was in the square of the San Gennaro parish, with the finish near the Valle delle Delizie naturalistic oasis.

Organisers were San Gennarello Bike and SG D'Elia Bike, with CSI Napoli and the Municipality of Ottaviano involved in the event.

More than one hundred athletes participated, a strong turnout for a first edition and a sign of local interest in uphill amateur racing around Vesuvius.

De Rosa first among the women

De Rosa competed for Team Bifulco and finished first among the women. The available overall classification lists her as Giuseppina De Rosa, bib number 89, category W2, for Team Bifulco — consistent in surname, team and event with the Pina De Rosa named as women's winner in press coverage.

The published classification displays times as "0.000", so no verified finishing time, winning margin or average speed is available. The sources also do not provide a complete women's ranking.

Romolo Gentile was the men's winner, while Team Bifulco received the society trophy.

What the result shows

For readers following local cycling, two details help place the result:

First, this was not an isolated ride but an organised competitive event, with local clubs, CSI Napoli and municipal patronage behind it, and a defined parish-square-to-oasis route.

Second, the classification entry gives a useful reference for checking future results: look for Giuseppina De Rosa, Team Bifulco, bib 89, category W2, in the 11 October 2026 Cicloscalata Valle delle Delizie classification.
