The story of Costantino Seggioli is known to few, even among fans of the Mille Miglia, the most famous road speed race in the world.
A real shame, because this little man who ran the Mille Miglia on foot in 1938 to advertise the twelfth edition of a competition that was being renewed and to do his friend Renzo Castagneto a favor, deserved justice. It took him a little less than two months to run the more than 1,600 kilometers of the route that, upon his arrival, the cars would also have covered, but in just over twelve hours. Seggioli kept his intentions true and during the long wanderings around the Italian boot, he wrote a diary in which he collected episodes bordering on the fantastic of which he was the protagonist.
A story, that of the Puledro di Castagneto, that had to be told, because it is part of the Mille Miglia which, even for anecdotes like this, remains the most beautiful race in the world.
