Florence, 7 June 2024 – Over two thousand kilometres, from 11 to 15 June, for what is considered the “most beautiful race in the world”. It’s the Mille Migliathe traditional ride around Italy with cars built between 1927 and 1957. Five stages, as per the format inaugurated last year, and a route that will also cross Liguria, Tuscany and Umbria.

Adding an epic flavor to the tour de force of vintage jewels will therefore be the unusual anti-clockwise route, which recalls the myth of the first editions of the 1000 Miglia speed race. The first historic stage finish in Turin: after the passages of 1947 and 1948 the convoy will stop for the first time in the city of Savoy and, welcomed by the Mole Antonelliana illuminated with the Red Arrow, will parade through the streets of the center until the welcome in Piazza San Carlo.
Therefore, as regards Tuscany, the Mille Miglia will take place on Wednesday 12 June Viareggio, which will be the stage arrival site. The cars will also pass through Lucca for time control, while the following day they will cross the province of Livorno along the Etruscan coast up to Rome. Is provided a stop for the lunch break in Castiglione della Pescaia, while in Grosseto there will be the passage of the caravan for time control before entering Lazio towards the capital.
June 14th is the day of Rome-Bologna, stage that will cross Tuscany again. The Mille Miglia cars will pass first through Siena and then through Prato, before heading towards Mugello to climb the Futa step and head towards Bologna. The conclusion of the race will therefore be on 15 June with the last stage from the Emilian capital to Brescia.
Since the morning of Sunday 9 June we will get to the heart of the pre-race with the opening of the technical and sporting checks in the Paddock at the Brixia Forum, which will be followed by the inauguration at 4.30 pm of the 1000 Miglia Village in Victoria Square. Here, two hours later, the engines will be started for the seventh edition of the Gaburri Trophy, which will see cars competing between Corso Zanardelli and the Brescia Castle, with arrival in Piazza Paolo VI.
