Gino Bartali was a legendary Italian cyclist. Known for his incredible talent, Gino won the Giro d’Italia in 1936 and 1937 and claimed victory in the Tour de France in 1938. After the war, he continued to dominate the sport, adding the Giro d’Italia in 1946 and the Tour de France in 1948 to his list of achievements.
But Gino’s most heroic deeds weren’t on the racecourse. During World War II, under the guise of training, Gino carried forged documents across Italy. These papers saved the lives of countless Jews but would have meant certain death for Gino if discovered. His bravery and willingness to risk everything made him a true hero.
In our own work, we’ve delivered seventeen death benefits to the families of true heroes. It doesn’t matter their profession, wealth, or education. What makes someone a hero is their foresight and love—their plan to ensure their loved ones are cared for, even after they’re gone.
