Impero XP - Tributo A Milano
"A city is made of memories, and a bicycle is how we ride through them."
ACOL’s first Limited Edition is more than just a collection. It’s a tribute — to the symbols, the stories, and the roots of Alex Colnago in the city of Milan. This Limited Edition favors meaning over mere aesthetics. The Biscione, the Duomo, the red cross on white, the colors of its two football clubs...Each element is a scene from Alex’s youth — graphic echoes of the spirit of Milan.
“Impero is not just a bicycle. It’s the way I ride through the city that shaped me.”
– Alex Colnago
Colour of Milan
Milan is remembered in colours.
The red trams weaving through stone-grey buildings, the roar of blue stadiums, the golden hue of sunset on cathedral spires.
ACOL's first limited edition captures these very colors on the surface of a bicycle frame.
The deep green of the Biscione, the marble white of the Duomo,
the blue and red of the city's rival teams, and the red cross on the city’s flag — together, they speak the visual language of Milan.
This is not just graphic design.
It is a layered expression of a city, told through color.
Milan l'é un gran Milan
This Milanese dialect phrase has long embodied the spirit of a proud city. A city that lives between fashion and industry, art and sport — never confined, always evolving.
ACOL's limited edition bicycle reflects that same energy.
It doesn't chase spectacle; it honors detail.
It doesn’t shout luxury; it whispers affection.
A small inscription, a hidden coordinate — each holds more than it seems. This bicycle is a quiet tribute to a city that is, truly, great.
Symbol of Milan
Symbols speak for a city without words. And Milan has many.
The Biscione, an ancient emblem of identity and power.
The Duomo, a vertical testament to history and devotion.
The red cross, a symbol of heritage.
The team colours — a constant rivalry, forever coexisting.
Each element has been distilled and placed with care onto the frame of this bicycle.
They are not decorations.
They are the memory of a city, made tangible.
Only 25 will be made. No more.
Because the value of a limited edition is not in the number, but in the weight of what it represents.
