The story of The Valenzano brothers is a perfect cross-section of the enthusiasm, vivacity and even risk that characterised Italian motorsport in the post-war period.
That of Gino and his younger brother Piero is a story of passion for engines and defiance of destiny. A passion that allowed them, young students, to survive imprisonment in the Mauthausen camps by making themselves look like skilled workers, and a destiny that continued to chase them for years to come.
Gino raced the most important races of his era, from Mille Miglia to Targa Florio in Italy, to Sebring and Le Mans, as official driver first for Lancia and then Maserati. It was precisely at Le Mans that destiny grazed and spared him, not involving him in the tragedy of 1955, the same destiny that a little later would await Piero at a curve in the Dolomites, stopping his promising career and young life forever.
Giorgio Tessore, Gino Valenzano's son-in-law and keeper of the family memories, and Antonello De Marco, a motor racing journalist, have collected in this book an incredible quantity of data, testimonies and images that illustrate the life and career of these two drivers from Turin.
