Product description
Everything went slower in the Italian cities of the 1960s. The scene suddenly changed when the hill climb drivers arrived. They drove sinuous and fascinating cars such as the Ferrari Le Mans, Porsche Carrera 6, Abarth 2000, Alfa 33 and Ford GT40 and they pounced on the poor roads of the time, crumbling the asphalt and racing among the crowds.
The person who won the most over Ferrari was the Lombard industrialist Edoardo Lualdi Gabardi who in this book tells the story of an epic, as Italy emerged from the post-war nightmare and caressed the first years of the economic boom, of well-being within reach hand, of mass motorization.
The book interweaves the story of those races with that of a society that awaits tomorrow with a smile. An optimistic and somewhat naive season, where everything seemed possible, even the moon landing.
