13th-17th June, 1000 Miglia. A cure for the soul. Get it prescribed by your doctor!
The 1000 Miglia: Italy's legendary race revives with enduring enthusiasm after 66 years. A remarkable journey, tragedy, and vintage car celebration.
It’s hard to find an event that, after concluding its sporting epic in 1957, approximately 66 years ago, still maintains the enthusiasm and interest that accompanies its revival. However, there is one: the 1000 Miglia, held in Brescia, Italy.
The magic of the 1000 Miglia stems from numerous unique and unrepeatable elements. Since the 1930s – more precisely since 1927 – it has been a sporting endeavour like no other: a remarkable 1,600-kilometre journey, as if on a racetrack, on public roads that wind their way across half of Italy. An epic feat, regardless of the car being driven, requiring talent and physical endurance. It was a risky undertaking too, because it was undertaken without knowledge of the roads and their pitfalls. From the very beginning, this event attracted participants from every country who, beyond the race, found crowds along the entire route to support and cheer them on.
