🏁🇮🇹 WE JUST TICKED OFF A BUCKET LIST EXPERIENCE… THE MILLE MIGLIA! 🇮🇹🏁
If you’ve never heard of the Mille Miglia, imagine taking some of the most beautiful classic cars ever built, putting them on some of the most beautiful roads in Italy, adding thousands of passionate Italians waving flags and cheering from every town square… and then somehow making it even more spectacular. 😍🍷🏎️
We were incredibly lucky to be here in Ferrara to witness this amazing event as the cars rolled through town, and wow… what a privilege! 🙌🇮🇹
Originally run between 1927 and 1957, the Mille Miglia (which literally means “One Thousand Miles”) was one of the world’s most famous road races. Legends such as Stirling Moss and Juan Manuel Fangio raced through Italy at speeds that would make your insurance company cry. 😂🏎️💨
These days it’s a regularity rally for some of the most stunning classic cars ever produced, with only vehicles that raced in the original Mille Miglia being eligible to enter. Think Bugattis, Alfa Romeos, Ferraris, Mercedes-Benz and enough automotive history to make any car lover weak at the knees. 🤩❤️
The best part? Seeing entire towns come alive. Grandparents, parents, kids, dogs, tourists, locals… everyone lining the streets to celebrate a piece of Italian history. That’s what we love about Italy. They don’t just preserve their history… they live it. 🇮🇹🍝🍷
And let’s be honest… if we owned one of these priceless classics we’d be terrified to drive it through crowded Italian streets. We’d probably stall it, scratch it, cry a little, and then need a large Aperol Spritz to recover. 🤣🍹
What an incredible day and another reminder of why we’re completely in love with this beautiful country.
