Gran Premio Nuvolari 2017, the famous international regularity event reserved to vintage cars made between 1919 and 1972, which pays homage to Tazio Nuvolari, the unforgotten "Flying Mantuan", will be staged from September 15 to 17. Starting and finishing in Mantua - the home city of the great driver - as usual, the first leg of new route of the 2017 edition will reach the Adriatic Coast after crossing the Po Valley and the Apennines. The second leg will start in Rimini and lace scenic Tuscany, Umbria and Marche before heading back to Rimini. Finally, the third leg will lead from the Adriatic Sea back to Mantua through the cities of Emilia Romagna. It is a 1000 kilometre itinerary through famous Italian landscapes and a blend of history, motoring enthusiasm, tradition and one-of-a-kind hospitality.
Organised by Mantova Corse, with the collaboration of Automobile Club Mantova and the Tazio Nuvolari Museum, the competition will see hundreds of Classic cars on the starting line. Among the rarities this year will be the remarkable Lancia Aureliab 20GT from the collection of FCA Heritage, the organisation which coordinates all the activities of the company on the Classic motoring scene. The car will be driven by FCA Heritage manager Roberto Giolito with Daniele Audetto, former Lancia and Ferrari MD, as co-driver. This is a link to Cesare Fiorio, who was also MD of the two brands and drove the Aurelia B20 GT at the Mille Miglia in 2015. Its presence of the sporty car which was the emblem of Lancia racing in the 1950s is proof of the dedication of the people of the Officine Classiche Lancia and their services aimed at adding value and enhancing the uniqueness of each and every Classic Lancia. At the Officine Classiche in Torino, a team of professionals takes personal care of each car certifying its authenticity. The Classic Lancia cars which pass all the tests receive a "Certificate of Authenticity" and a certification plate. Only in this way, each vintage Lancia can boast added value that certifies the enthusiasm and dedication of its owner.
