Bernard Asset, a seasoned contributor to AUTOhebdo, shares his thrilling adventure: a ride on his Guzzi through a nation where automobiles are nearly revered as a religion.
From the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza – the ultimate "Temple of Speed" – to the famed rooftop of the Lingotto, Bernard Asset invites us behind the curtain at the world’s most legendary motorsport locations.
Over a thousand photographs capture this expedition, accompanied by a foreword from Ercole Colombo, an Italian photographer who has also spent years in the F1 paddocks.
The narrative is rich, with anecdotes, including the 1978 "scoop" regarding Alfa Romeo’s comeback to Formula 1, as told by Pierre Van Vliet. Conversations with Flavio Briatore, Giorgio Piola, and drivers Bruno Giacomelli and Riccardo Patrese further enhance the story.
More than merely a collection of images, Souvenirs d’Italie – Ricordi d’Italia stands as a tribute to 45 years of high-level encounters and a voyage through Europe’s most motorsport-enthusiastic nation.
338 pages and over 1,000 images. Text in Italian and French.
