In the November 8 edition of VeloceToday.com. I wrote of my experience at the Mille Miglia in my 1931 Aston Martin. It was so much fun that I decided to participate in the Gran Primo Nuvolari 16-19 of September. The Nuvolari is an event similar to the Mille Miglia, but one day shorter and a bit less intense. Entry is open to cars even up to the early 70s but most are prewar or 50s cars. It is named, of course, after Tazio Nuvolari, the great Italian race driver, and for that reason starts and ends from his hometown of Mantova Italy. I had been told about the Nuvolari by many friends from my 3 previous Mille Miglias. They all said it is an event not to be missed. It is shorter and less strenuous than the Mille but still covers some of the same fantastic Italian roads in central Italy.
