iBeastie On The Fly - Mille Miglia
Roma’13!!! Making the walk from Piazza Cavour to Palazzo Taverna, with luggage in tow, it was obvious that there was something going on @ Castel Sant Angelo. After hearing the rumble, I realized that the Mille Miglia rally was passing through Rome again. I happened upon this event last Summer, and it was great. Having been traveling for 24 hours, I was less inclined to stick around and admire the cars…. But I did grab these few shots. Really beautiful and rare cars, preparing to drive 1000 miles through Italy. A good start to the Summer in Rome. Wc
The Mille Miglia had always been a race that favored Italian drivers. After all, it was a 1000-mile dash through their homeland, giving them home field advantage. But Stirling Moss was no local—he was an Englishman sent to win the Mille Miglia in a German car. And win he did, through a potent mix of determination, an inventive navigator, a fast car and sheer talent. See for yourself by taking a look at the video and listen to Stirling recount his tale and the road that took him to victory.
