It is part of the UCI World Tour, cycling's highest level of professional men's races.

First held in 1966, the race was held over three stages. since 2002 it is held over seven stages. Except for the first edition, the last stage has always finished in San Benedetto del Tronto on the Adriatic Seaside. Belgian Roger De Vlaeminck holds the record for most wins with six consecutive victories in the 1970s.
