Giovanni Canestrini, writer and sports journalist, was one of the founders of Mille Miglia, conceived in his home in December 1926, with Franco Mazzotti, Aymo Maggi and Renzo Castagneto.
In 1924, the director of Gazzetta dello Sport, Emilio Colombo, called him to write the motoring section, and he immediately became well known to the public for his passionate reports, always studded with competent technical analyses and knowledgeable behind-the-scenes stories.
The same passion he lavished on many articles and books dedicated to the automobile and motorsport. Among them, worthy of mention are Automobilismo sportivo e turistico (1947), Prontuario dell'automobilismo sportivo (1956), Uomini e motori (1957), Storia illustrata dell'auto italiana (1961), Una vita con le corse (1962), Le grandi macchine sportive italiane (1965), La favolosa Targa Florio (1966) and Mille Miglia (1967, 1990).
The present volume, Automobilismo, was published in 1962, the second edition of the book Automobilismo sportivo e turistico, which appeared for the first time in 1947.
