Mille Miglia (Thousand Miles) is a famous vintage car race that follows a loop circuit from Brescia to Rome and back, via Ferrara. "The world's greatest road race", according to Enzo Ferrari, attracts participants and spectators seeking adventure and excitement.
The first race took place in 1927 on a 1000-mile route, hence its name. Back then, it was undoubtedly a real challenge, where the difficulties and hazards of unpaved streets, dust and mud had to be faced and overcome by the drivers. But it was precisely this danger factor that fuelled passion for the event, attracting more enthusiastic drivers and spectators every year.
Today, this classic race is run at a more leisurely pace and within modern safety measures, though it still fascinates car enthusiasts from all over the world.
