Mille Miglia Portraits

the Story
When it comes to the Mille Miglia, the iconic race held from 1927 to 1957, one naturally recalls the legendary cars: OM, Bugatti, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Lancia, and the dominantly victorious Alfa Romeo and Ferrari. However, the true essence of the Mille Miglia lies not just in the machines but in the people behind them—drivers, co-drivers, mechanics, technical directors, organizers, and even celebrities from film and show business. The human faces and untold stories of this legendary race are captured in Mille Miglia Portrait.
Authored by Leonardo Acerbi, this captivating book brings to life the lesser-known stories and personalities that played a part in the Mille Miglia. Through a series of portraits, presented alphabetically, Acerbi provides a mosaic of the men and women who shaped the race’s history, from household names to those who remain hidden in the shadows of motorsport lore. This tribute to the people behind the machines offers an unparalleled glimpse into the world’s most celebrated race.
