El primer gran triunfo de Gino Bartali lo alcanzó a los veintidós años, a tan solo meses de su debut profesional. A partir de ese momento, su fama se extendió por todo el país. Cuando el ciclista estaba por demostrar la plenitud de sus destrezas físicas, la ii Guerra Mundial empezó a cubrir de sangre el continente. El ciclismo era ajeno a las carreteras, transitadas por tanques y maquinarias bélicas. Los giros de la vida convirtieron a Bartali en un héroe.
