“Breaks? Why use those?” Tazio Nuvolari, in 1935, exceeded 335 km/h on the Firenze – Mare asphalt highway. Enzo Ferrari and his feats. Count Giannino Marzotto, who drove in his double-breasted suit instead of a uniform. And the legendary speed races that since the 1930s were run in Florence and the surrounding areas: the Mugello Circuit, the Coppa della Consuma, the Circuito delle Cascine and Circuito di Firenze and the Firenze-Fiesole course. But the best photographs are those of the Concorsi d’Eleganza for classic and vintage cars, which has taken place in the Boboli Gardens since 1948: an important technical and elite event.
