Event Details
from Bologna to San Luca,
2 km to go all in one…
The uphill section of the arcade was started in 1706 and in 1715 reached the top of the hill.
Today we celebrate the 300th anniversary of the conquest of the summit.
The organiser of the event, Francesco Amante, also took part in the renovation by remembering a place dear to his father, who loved to take his family to the Sunday’s mess in the Basilica of San Luca with his Fiat 500 “Topolino” car. Francesco Amante began preparing every aspect of the organisation on time, since he was so enthusiastic about bringing back historic cars in such a unique way. After the renovation issues, the rest was still to be taken care of and it wasn’t an easy task since the race takes place in the heart of Bologna, a place of worship for pilgrims, right beside an arcade that could be included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The organisers will move to the paddock, in front of the stadium, a perfect place to welcome racing cars, trailers and big lorries that
arrive one by one. The itinerary is set up. With great care. It is a short race, but full of pulling ahead, hard braking, double clutching and thrilling drifts. Only the Brave, says the foreign press…you don’t have time to think…a race in one breathless go…..Red light….yellow and at green, a deep breath to start almost holding one’s breath….Starting from under the Arco del Meloncello…alongside the arks, built in
17000, towards the sky….. Thousands of people overlooking the porch, emotion overwhelms you but you must keep focus….notably only the brave. The weather was questionable, but it remained stable and we were blessed with unexpected sunny day.
