BRUNO BONI 1000 MIGLIA 2023 PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITION: RECORD-BREAKING XI EDITION

The prize-giving ceremony of the photographic competition dedicated to Bruno Boni, the historic mayor of Brescia from 1948 to 1975, who strongly wanted the return of the Red Arrow after the war, took place last weekend. Organised with the collaboration of 1000 Miglia Srl, Club 1000 Miglia “Franco Mazzotti”, Automobile club Brescia, Museo 1000 Miglia Brescia and Bergamo Brescia Capital of Culture 2023, the 2023 edition registered 514 entries and 1182 photographs received, numbers clearly up on last year (when there were 300 entries and 670 photographs).

The theme of the competition focused on the impact of the Most Beautiful Race in the World among the people, and the winner of the first prize was Simone Slawitz. His black and white photograph best depicted the spontaneity of the relationship that is created between the drivers and the people who experience the race at the roadside.
