Since it’s reintroduction back in 1977 it has been a four-day regularity race around Italy, starting and finishing in Brescia, taking in Rome and other historical Italian cities. Only the cars selected from the models which took part in the original race can participate in the Mille Miglia, with teams coming from all over the world. On Thursday afternoon the cars leave
Brescia, the heart of the Mille Miglia and arrive in Padova for the first overnight stay. The next morning, they leave for Rome, passing San Marino and L’Aquila on the way. On Saturday, they depart for Bologna, where they stay overnight before embarking on the last stretch to Brescia on Sunday morning, where they will be enthusiastically welcomed home for the prize giving celebrations. In addition to the activities connected with the Mille Miglia, you’ll experience some great drives, see some amazing sights and enjoy some wonderful Italian food.
Lake Garda is the jewel of the Italian lakes and Italy’s largest body of water. Its shoreline features untouched towns and villages among the glossy resorts.
Tuscany’s sublime countryside is the perfect destination for a driving holiday far away from the crowds, yet within Tuscany’s easy reach of two of Italy’s most popular cities, Florence and Pisa.
