"We are happy for this great achievement, this 1000 Miglia was very challenging - says Moceri and Bonetti
with satisfaction - we have been trying it for several years and now we made it. This also thanks to the
support of the FCA Heritage team which has granted us a wonderful car belonging to the Alfa Romeo Museum
of Arese. We are proud to associate our names to this car".
Vesco and Guerini swallowing a bitter pill, declared: We are not completely satisfied, it is a second place
that burns. We competed with very strong teams to which we would like to congratulate. In the greets we
would like to include Tonconogy and Ruffini, who have already won three editions of the 1000 Miglia.
The Argentinian couple Tonconogy and Ruffini turn on the spotlight on the umpteenth experience of the
Freccia Rossa: "1000 Miglia is a fantastic race and it was, once again, wonderful to cross the incredible
places that Italy offers".
To win the Coppa delle Dame, the competition reserved to the first female team, is the duo composed by
Silvia Marini and Francesca Ruggeri in a 1937 Aston Martin 2 Litre Speed Model, arriving at the 32th overall
position, with 53766 points. A nice competition with Franca Boni and Monica Barziza.
Among the curiosities, the challenge between judges of MasterChef, Carlo Cracco and Joe Bastianich, goes
to the Italian- American who, together with Luca Pascolini, in a 1950 Healey 2400 Silverstone E-Type, closed
at the 135th position. Cracco instead, with Carlo Fonti, in a 1951 Lancia Aurelia B20 GT 2000, finished 277th.
The well-known digital entrepreneur Riccardo Pozzoli, who participated at the "most beautiful race in the
world" with Maurizio Aiolfi in a 1938 Fiat 508 C Balilla 1100 Berlina, closed at the 89th position. Among the
drivers who made the history of motor racing, it is reported that Romain Dumas (Team Chopard), who was
traveling with Armando Musotto in a 1957 Porsche 550 A Spyder 1500 RS, was forced to retire. While Miki
Biasion, together with Piero Giovanni Pissavini, driving a 1953 Ferrari 250 MM Spider Vignale, arrived at the
113th place.
The 37th historic re-enactment of the 1000 Miglia has come to its conclusion: we have passed through
enchanting villages, we have amazed the crews and the public, showing the epitome of the Italian spirit to
everyone. We can feel satisfied and proud for how this edition has turned out. Compliments to the winners,
and also all those who raced with integrity and an healthy spirit of competition. And finally, a special thanks
to the public of onlookers, who in every city, in every village, in every street, welcomed us with an
unforgettable warmth, but also to all of those who have allowed the great outcome of this edition says Franco
Gussalli Beretta, President of 1000 Miglia Srl.
430 cars (53 withdrawn), 1801 kilometres, 4 days of driving, 40 hours at the wheel, 200 town halls, 7 regions.
These are the numbers of the 1000 Miglia 2019, always the hallmark of beauty and elegance. An authentic
spot of the most fascinating Italy, which enhances man, art, religiosity, craftsmanship, cuisine and the quality
of living in harmony with nature.
Despite the gloomy weather, enthusiasm and emotions were not lacking at the award ceremony in Piazza
della Vittoria.
A contextual initiative for the 1000 Miglia - The Night, a party composed by numerous events, all hosted in the
heart of the historic centre of Brescia.
