The Coppa Agostioni is also sometimes called the Giro della Brianze.
The race is named after Ugo Agostoni, one of Italy's great cyclists of the early 20th century. Agostoni is most famous for having won the 1914 Milano–San Remo, but he also won the Giro dell'Emilia and a couple of stages in the Giro d'Italia. Agostoni was a pro from 1911 to 1924.
It is a race of long-standing, the first edition being held in 1946, won by Luigi Casola.
From that 1946 first edition through 1958, the Coppa Agostoni was reserved for amateur racers.
The Coppa Agostoni's most successful racer is Franco Bitossi, the only rider to win it three times.
Since 2005 the UCI has ranked it 1.1 made made it part of the Europe Tour.
