90 years of automobile passion and dolce vita
Born in 1927, the Mille Miglia has over the years become the ultimate classic rally and doubtless the most prestigious and coveted of them all. After starting out as a speed trial in which some of the greatest ever drivers distinguished themselves by their accomplishments, the Mille Miglia became a regularity race while maintaining its 1,000-mile (1,600 km) route from Brescia in Lombardy to Rome and back. Drivers appreciate the unique and passionate spirit that has always pervaded the race, featuring a profusion of shimmering colours, gleaming bodywork and throbbing engines with their uniquely fascinating sounds. Spectacularly enhanced by the scenery it runs through, the race has earned an ever greater place in the heart of the Italians lining the roads to admire once again these legendary speed machines roaring past.
