FERRARI TRIBUTE TO MILLE MIGLIA | DAY 3
From Rome to Parma via Maranello
Rome, 16 May – Today brought a dawn start for the Ferrari Tribute to Mille Miglia with the cars leaving Rome where they arrived yesterday at the end of a 485-kilometre stage.
The Prancing Horse fleet finally drove into the capital city in the evening having come all the way from Riccione. In the course of the day, they followed a spectacular route across the Apennines that took in Senigallia and Macerata, and then stopped off at Ascoli Piceno, before going on to Teramo, Rieti and, lastly, Rome and the timeless beauty of the Castel Sant’Angelo.
Today is the longest stage in the Tribute: a 603-kilometre dash through three regions: Lazio, Tuscany and Emilia Romagna. The route spans a host of marvellous locations not least Viterbo, Radicofani, Buonconvento, Siena, Pisa and Lucca. The cars will even parade through Maranello, Ferrari’s hometown, before going on to the finish-line in Parma.
The final Parma-Brescia stage comes tomorrow with another stop-off at that legendary temple of speed, the Monza Circuit.
