Gerelli at the Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti

Photos by Alessandro Gerelli

The Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti, Alessandro Gerelli, and the Editor are all 71 years old. While this is purely coincidental, Alessandro’s phenomenal coverage of the modern event is not. It is the result of years of dedication to his photography, his passion, and his ongoing and remarkable support of VeloceToday.com. He began reporting the event, a re-creation of the original race that began in 1947, sixteen years ago in 2002 when Phil Hill was an honored guest.

In 2017, he reported on the 70th anniversary of the event, and the year before that we had put together a story that highlighted almost each year from 2002 onwards, surely a testament to Alessandro’s loyalty and the fortunate longevity of VeloceToday.com. It is worth a look as the cars are always as spectacular as the scenery, and what a nice record of a unique classic car event. A history of reportage of Coppa delle Dolomiti

Alessandro lives in Bresso, near Milan and is interested in flying, collecting Ferrari literature, photography and art. The car bug bit at age 16, and he has owned Abarths, Lancia, including a Delta Integrale 16v, and a Toyota MR2. He has been taking race and car photos since he was in college.

Here below is his fourteenth report on the fascinating, ever-changing cars that compete in the Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti. Thank you, Alessandro.
