Due Mondi Visti Da Un’Alfa. Una Giulietta Alla Pechino-Parigi

Product description

Rita and Roberto Chiodi were among the 130 dare-devils aboard a car that was at least 50 years old and competed in the historic Peking-Paris Rally, which commemorated the centenary of the famous race. It was the first time an international competition had ventured along the harsh original 1907 route of the winning Itala and its driver Prince Scipione Borghese. Stage after stage, the Alfa’s had to take on stone covered surfaces, river crossings, the sands of the Gobi Desert and the Steppes of Siberia before reaching the motorways of the West and their triumph in Paris. The story of the couple’s participation is told with irony and love as far as the true protagonist is concerned: the 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta TI, their companion in life and adventure. This is a book as devoted to the enthusiasts of the marque, as it is to lovers of journeys in lands far away.
