INCIPIT<br />
The 42nd reenactment of the 1000 Miglia also<br />
reintroduces the fascination of a unique competition<br />
through the extraordinary scenery of Italy’s most<br />
beautiful side.<br />
The first car leaves on Tuesday 11 at 12pm from Viale<br />
Venezia, passing through Bergamo, Novara and Vercelli<br />
before arriving in Turin for the first stage finish.<br />
On the second day, the convoy will begin its descent<br />
south down the Langhe hills and through the center of<br />
Acqui Terme before heading to Genoa (new stage this<br />
year), where crews will stop for lunch. Continuing along<br />
the Tyrrhenian coast, the race will reach the finish line<br />
in Viareggio.<br />
The third stage will be a draw near the Capital. After<br />
going through the inland to pay homage to Lucca, the<br />
race will return to the coast in Livorno until the lunch<br />
break in Castiglione <strong>della</strong> Pescaia. In the afternoon, the<br />
transit from Grosseto, the entry into the region of Lazio,<br />
Lake Bolsena and the ending in Rome for the Via Veneto<br />
parade.<br />
With the fourth stage, crews will climb up to Orvieto and<br />
then Solomeo, place for lunch. After the break it will be<br />
the turn of Siena and Prato and the Futa and Raticosa<br />
passes, which will precede the arrival in Bologna. On the<br />
final day of Saturday 15, the route will include Ferrara and<br />
Mantua, then the southern Lake Garda with Valtenesi<br />
and Salò and it will end with the classic afternoon parade<br />
in Viale Venezia.
