The Gran Premio Nobili Rubinetterie was a single-day road bicycle race held annually in Arona, Italy between 1997 and 2015. It was held primarily as a 1.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour. In 2010 the GP was split in two challenges, Coppa Papà Carlo[1] and Coppa Città di Stresa,[2] but reverted to a single race – on the route of the Coppa Città di Stresa – in 2012.[3]
