1000 Miglia Returns With Iconic Route, Expanded Programme
KUALA LUMPUR, June 16 (Bernama) -- The 1000 Miglia is set to return from June 17 to 21, with 420 classic cars tackling a 1,900-kilometre (km) route across Italy in a five-day event that echoes the spirit of its epic pre-war editions.
Departing from Viale Venezia in Brescia, this year's route forms a symbolic figure-eight, connecting the eastern Adriatic and western Tyrrhenian coasts while preserving the classic Brescia-Rome-Brescia path.
Highlights include stopovers in San Lazzaro di Savena (Bologna), Rome, Cervia-Milano Marittima, and Parma, before the grand return to Brescia for a final parade in Piazza Vittoria, coinciding with Festa della Musica.
Meanwhile, the passage through the Naval Academy in Livorno will seal the partnership with the Italian Navy, showing the collaboration and closeness that the Armed Forces and Police have always reserved for the 1000 Miglia.
The 1000 Miglia 2025 convoy will be preceded by 123 Ferraris from the Tribute 1000 Miglia and 1000 Miglia Green electric cars, accompanied by the Politecnico di Milano's robo-driven cars reflecting on the introduction of autonomous driving for optimising urban transport.
The pre-race programme started on June 15 with the inauguration of the 1000 Miglia Village in the historic setting of Piazza Vittoria featuring children from the 'La 1000 Miglia goes to school' project that decorate the car dedicated to the initiative, travelling behind the convoy.
Furthermore, the 1000 Miglia Charity Car, with La Zebra Onlus, will raise public awareness of the purchase of a latest-generation ultrasound scanner to be donated to the Children's Hospital in Brescia.
