During the thirty years of its existence, from 1927 to 1957, the Mille Miglia was considered 'the finest road-race in the world'. It was a spectacle, it was a circus, and it was a tough, unyielding challenge over 1,000 miles through the Italian countryside and villages at speeds of up to 200 mph. Attracting the best international drivers of the day, the race was followed by millions worldwide, and in Italy posters bearing the distinctive Mille Miglia red arrow could be seen everywhere and thousands of tifosi lined the route to cheer their heroes to victory. Conte Maggi's Mille Miglia was the most competitive race ever run: it produced thrilling triumphs and glorious defeats, but most of all it created champions--to win at Brescia was to have reached the pinnacle of sporting achievement. From the personal family and racing photograph albums of Contessa Camilla Maggi, Peter Miller has created a fascinating portrait of Conte Ayrno Maggi and the unique race he founded in 1927.... The story... is a dramatic one. Founded to boost the flagging Italian motor industry, Maggi drove in, publicised and promoted his event until it was first banned in 1938 after a serious crash involving crowd fatalities. Undeterred, the race was run again in 1940, when most of Europe was already at war, after Maggi persuaded Italian officials to let him hold the event on a 103 mile triangular circuit around Brescia. June 1947, after the conflict was over, saw the return of the Mille Miglia on battle-scarred roads on a round-Italy circuit, and Maggi's last poignant race as a competitor. With each successive year the event attracted more glamour and prestige, until another crash in 1957, when Fon de Portago killed himself and eleven others, saw its tragic end; four years later Maggi himself died, a broken man. In over 150 photographs... this book captures the true essence of the Mille Miglia, its triumphs and its hazards, and the extraordinary and determined life of the man behind it...
