Beppe Gualini (from Bergamo, Italy), a teacher of physical education with a restless soul, soon abandoned his job to devote himself to African rallies, at the time unknown. A pioneer, with his participation in the first edition of the Pharaons Rally in Egypt in 1982, considered a madman at the start, he returned with a class victory, the first by an Italian driver in African rallies, a speciality destined in a few years to become the most media event in the world with the legendary Paris-Dakar.
The book is only a small part of Beppe Gualini's life, with unpublished images from his precious photographic archive, making it a historical document. Indispensable and valuable is the contribution of Gigi Soldano, a world-famous professional photographer, who worked with him, sharing unforgettable adventures that he immortalised.
Beppe Gualini represents what all motorcyclists would like to be, a private rider with no significant financial resources who manages himself in complete autonomy but who achieves outstanding results, becoming a reference for all motoring enthusiasts.
But his experience also extended to four-wheelers, winning the selections of the legendary Camel Trophy and representing Italy in the 1985 expedition in Borneo. This was the start of another important phase in his brilliant career, becoming responsible for national and international selections and later being included in a select team of ‘scouts’ for the Camel Trophy, experiencing a thousand adventures in the wildest places on the planet.
After Destinazione Avventura, Africa chiama and Incas Rally, Una vita fuori traccia is his fourth publishing effort.
320 pages and more than 400 pictures. Text in Italian and English.
