The adventure of the Motogiro is ended half a century ago, yet even allude to the name brings to mind ran into myth.
And truly unique that in this race are enough just five editions, played from 1953 to 1957, to enter the Olympus of the great road races.
It was undoubtedly this formula: a stage race on roads that crossed most of the peninsula.
A way to bring the wonderful world of motorcycling close to people, in a time when so many things, like the bike its heroes, it's landing heavily and he knew little.
Through the testimonies of the protagonists, the documents of the era and the largely unpublished photographs of Walter Barbra, the volume recounts the salient phases and the background of this competition which was, in all respects, a genuine ' foolhardy ' challenge.
Im just the idea of setting up an event like this on street circuit might have seemed a risky organizational choice, on the edge of madness.
The madness for other was shared with unwavering enthusiasm and determination by pilots and manufacturers, all engaged in a hard and exhausting confrontation for men and means.
We projected on the roads that were the scene of legendary races. The voices of the protagonists help to shed light on controversial facts, comparing and contrasting, often thesis while the final part contains all the charts, stage for stage, class-by-class, five editions, besides the planting of various editions and paths to profiles of individual stages.
