Description

When one thinks of the Mille Miglia, essentially the most celebrated race on this planet that took place between 1927 and 1957, the mind indisputably goes back to OM, Bugatti, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Lancia as well, of course, as the ultra-victorious Alfa Romeo and Ferrari, the greatest car manufacturers that have competed within the Italian marathon. However the memorable history of the great race is made up basically of men: drivers, co-drivers, mechanics, technical and sports directors, organisers in addition to film and show business personalities plus, naturally, a big public following. All of those faces have names, some well known others less so, and stories, some well worth telling others less so. The book brings together a series of portraits in alphabetical order that make up the fragments of this historic sports and cultural mosaic that used to be the Mille Miglia, once again told by Leonardo Acerbi from his deep knowledge of the Brescia-based race.
