Enchanted Tuscany and the bewildering Abruzzi

It is quiet impossible to surpass the scenery of central Italy. We have been there before, we still love it and we are going back. Some new roads in Tuscany and some new

roads to the highlights in Umbria and the Abruzzi.

We will start at the truly unbelievable collection of Mario Righini. After 80 years Mario is still collecting cars as if they where stamps. And he has acquired a very fine taste. A collection open to the very few. And we are the lucky ones.

The rally will be going south into Tuscany. We stay two nights in a rebuild farmers village before continuing to the little town of Bevagna in Umbria.

From there we continue to a spa-resort high in the Gran Sasso mountains. We are surrounded by bear-rich forests and luxury.

On the way back north we pass the “raison d’étre” of the Via Flaminia and finish in style in a fortified village.

As always, the Via Flaminia is a layback rally where the competition serves the atmosphere, winning is not a goal on itself. Those who want to have a stop for a coffee can do so. No time constraint. The classification is done via navigation and the competition for the last place is sometimes fierce.
