There is a reason why Enzo Ferrari described Mille Miglia as ‘the most beautiful race in the world’. It is
more than a simple car race: for many years it has represented a chance for the whole of Italy to come
together and celebrate its own collective heritage and an occasion to acknowledge our shared past.
That’s why Federico Fellini chose to include it in his masterpiece Amarcord. The Marzotto family
has long recognized its own key business values as embedded at the very core of this event, which
celebrates boldness and innovation. Their presence at Mille Miglia was initially of a competitive nature,
as brothers Vittorio, Umberto, Giannino and Paolo raced against legendary pilots such as Fangio and
Ascari. To this day, Marzotto’s presence is guaranteed, as the race reaches the 34 installment of its
th
historical re-enactment.
