From Biella to the World: The Epic Tale of Two Racing Icons.

This prestigious volume, a true gem for motorsport bibliophiles, chronicles the extraordinary careers of two of the greatest road-racing masters of the post-war era: Giovanni Bracco and Umberto Maglioli. Originating from the storied province of Biella, these two champions defined a golden age of racing, evolving from Lancia specialists to legendary drivers for the official Scuderia Ferrari.

Giovanni Bracco, the mentor, is immortalized for his daring style and his historic victory at the 1952 Mille Miglia. Umberto Maglioli, his brilliant protégé, rose to become one of the most versatile drivers of the 1950s, conquering grueling marathons such as the Carrera Panamericana and the Targa Florio.

Authored by Enzo Russo, the narrative is brought to life through an exceptional collection of rare and often unpublished photographs. Sourced from private family archives, these images document not only the high-octane races but also the human spirit and the profound bond these men shared with their homeland.

Key Highlights for Collectors:

  • Exclusivity: A strictly limited edition of only 1,000 numbered copies.
  • Historical Depth: An in-depth exploration of the heroic age of motorsport (1940s–1950s).
  • Stunning Imagery: Large-format photography featuring iconic cars like Ferrari, Lancia, and Maserati in their prime.

This book is an essential addition to any automotive library, offering a definitive look at two men who carried the prestige of Italian engineering to the highest steps of the global podium.
