Mille Miglia 2011: the godmother Madalina Ghenea

The "most beautiful race in the world" is at the start and also 2011 edition of the race there will be personalities: from the guest of honor this year is the beautiful 22 year old model Madalina Ghenea, known more for TV commercials for a famous telephone operator. But spring promises to be eventful for the engineer Rowan Atkinson, best known as Mr.

Bean: the day today, is in the royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton, and then will fly to Italy to take part - 12 to 14 May - the Mille Miglia. From car enthusiast who is - in its eighteenth-century villa also has a Ferrari and an Aston Martin DB2 51 - will board a BMW 328 Roadster, 1939 and will cover the classic Brescia-Rome-Brescia.

In addition to Atkinson, there will be former Inter player German Lothar Matthäus, the legendary motorcycle racer Giacomo Agostini and the Finnish driver Mika Hakkinen, who will sit next to the grandson of the famous Argentine driver Manuel Fangio on board the same car that the grandfather used in 1955 in this same competition.

The track, like every year, undergoes minor changes other than perhaps to satisfy some municipalities interested in the visibility of the race. The move to Modena in front of the house nataledi Enzo Ferrari, however, is a fitting tribute to the father of the homonymous company. About prancing horse, then, was confirmed as the "Ferrari Tribute" with a parade of 130 vintage cars of Maranello which will precede the 375 cars entered the race, all built between 1927 and 1957.

A curiosity: Requests to participate in the Mille Miglia share had touched 1,400, forcing the organizers to a skimming that has excluded some really interesting patterns. All these events could one day be included in world heritage of UNESCO's intangible heritage, to reaffirm the Mille Miglia as an example of entrepreneurship in the automotive world that has made Italy one of the leading global players in the world of four wheels.
