«I have a dream, that of being able to acquire, like the Abruzzo Region, the historic Coppa Acerbo and to keep it inside a display case to be placed in the central nave of the future single headquarters of the Abruzzo Region which we will create in a small portion of the resulting areas . A display case that will look directly at the future D’Annunzio Library, two symbols of the history of Pescara, a history of speed of action, modernism and roots. And thanks go to Old Motors who promoted the organization of a series of initiatives aimed at giving the right relevance to the centenary of the Coppa Acerbo, which will fall on July 13th, offering the Abruzzo Region the opportunity to give space to our projects ». This was said by the President of the Council of the Abruzzo Region, Lorenzo Sospiri, opening the conference “The beautiful tale of the Pescara Circuit”, as part of the activities promoted for the centenary of the Acerbo Cup.
«The Abruzzo Region will do its part to enhance the historic Pescara Circuit with councilor Martelli, thanks to administrative continuity», said President Sospiri. «We have a D’Annunzio festival and my dream is to bring the Coppa Acerbo forever inside the architecturally valuable structure that will be the future sole headquarters of the Abruzzo Region in Pescara, which will be born at the same time as the new city. I will convince the owners to sell the Cup to the Abruzzo Region and we will position it so that it is visible to everyone, in front of the D’Annunzio library, which we are setting up by carrying out an operation with the Vittoriale to purchase a large fund of D’Annunzio’s book stocks. I hope that the conference will serve to make people understand that we must tell the mystical story of the Acerbo Cup of the ‘steel knights’ who raced by to the world, we must not get lost in trivial questions, and the Abruzzo Region will be available”.
