First held in 1927, and staged periodically over the next 30 years, the Mille Miglia ("thousand miles") road race was one of the greatest of all motorsport events.

Published to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the last race, this fascinating book recreates the races, the atmosphere, the politics, the technical changes – even the weather and road surfaces.

An original look at the great epic of the Mille Miglia, "the most beautiful race in the world", told here through the places that, in the city of Brescia, saw the unbridled passion for the racing cars of the "Freccia Rossa" born and developed, from the first edition of 1927 to the current, fascinating historical re-enactments. The stamping of the cars in corso Magenta and at the Foro Boario, then in piazza della Vittoria and piazza della Loggia; departures and arrivals in viale Venezia, via Duca degli Abruzzi, via Triumplina; the places of socialization and conviviality, such as the Taverna Mille Miglia in Corso Cavour. Faces, streets, squares of the race of yesterday and today come back alive and frenetic thanks to a synthetic chronological reconstruction, illustrated by many unpublished images and enriched by the biographies of the main protagonists of Brescia.

When one thinks of the Mille Miglia, the most celebrated race in the world that took place between 1927 and 1957, the mind certainly 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 in the Italian marathon. But the memorable history of the great race is made up mainly of men: drivers, co-drivers, mechanics, technical and sports directors, organisers as well as film and show business personalities plus, naturally, an immense 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 was the Mille Miglia, once again told by Leonardo Acerbi from his deep knowledge of the Brescia-based race.
24 editions from 1927 to 1957. 24 races featuring the greatest ever cars and drivers participated in the years either side of the Second World War. This in the briefest of terms is the Mille Miglia, the race par excellence; the marathon that for almost three decades traversed Italy, bringing to the nation’s roads stars of the calibre of Varzi and Nuvolari, Biondetti and Fangio, Ascari, Moss and Taruffi driving for the likes of Alfa Romeo, Mercedes-Benz, Lancia and Ferrari. The book draws on a wealth of photographic documents, in particular for the post-war editions, from the Novafoto-Sorlini Archive, an important collection featuring the shots taken by the official race photographer, Alberto Sorlini, between 1947 and 1957. Thanks to this previously unpublished and spectacular material, the book evokes an era in which unforgettable chapters in motorsport history were written.
