On the road from [[Rio nell'Elba]] going to Porto Azzurro is the "Fonte di Coppi". Towards the end of his career, [[Fausto Coppi]], the "campionissimo", came here to train on the roads of Elba. He still retained a celebrity status but was no longer at the peak of his career that ended with his death a few years later. The plaque on the fountain reads: "1960β2010, here the champion quenched his thirst, after fifty years on the run".
