A new chapter, the same legendary spirit
After the success of the biennial editions, there could only be one answer: since 1987 the “Spring Race” would be back every year. The rebirth of the Red Arrow was now complete.
1987: a new start
On the day of the sealing ceremony, Piazza della Vittoria turned into a living room. Here Bruno Boni, the Mayor of the 1000 Miglia and later President of the Chamber of Commerce, received illustrious guests, just as in all the post-war editions. At the start, Lorella Cuccarini led the many stars that walked on the platform, stealing the flashes of photographers from the Prince of Kent.
After the Brescia-Rome-Brescia race, victory went to a Formula 1 driver: Alessandro Nannini, that until today, is the only professional driver to have won the 1000 Miglia.
1988: the rise of the Red Arrow
1988 was a turning point: from the biennial organization, supported by a voluntary service, it became necessary to set up a permanent structure with permanent employees, able to guarantee the annual scheduling of the event.
Good results soon arrive: the new 1000 Miglia began an ascent that led it to be recognized as “the most beautiful race in the world”. While the legendary events of the speed race editions remained unique and Brescia became known worldwide as “the city of the 1000 Miglia”.
A long-lasting success
Between Automobile Club Brescia and Marva Srl, the company set up by the organizers, a contract was signed that provided for the entrusting of the 1000 Miglia for four-year periods.
After the 1989 edition, known as the year of uninterrupted rainfall and with the President of the Italian Republic Francesco Cossiga attending the sealing ceremony, the Nineties began under the sign of communication.
One only needs to think of the 1.500 information workers that arrive in Brescia from all over the world.
1000 Miglia in the world
Thanks to its fame, the Red Arrow attracts fans from all over the world, extending well beyond Brescia. It is such a great success that, during the Nineties, the phenomenon led to the creation of many independent international events, appointments and initiatives inspired by the 1000 Miglia.
- 1991: the “American Friends of the Mille Miglia” club is founded and, since the 1990s, it has organized a motoring event called “California Mille”.
- 1992: a race called “La Festa Mille Miglia” continues to be held in Japan.
- 1996: the “Mil Millas Sport de la República Argentina” started again, an Italian-Argentine co-production of organizers and fans, who resumed the traditional race that was held in Argentina in the Forties.
Museo della Mille Miglia
In 2004, in the ancient Monastery of S. Eufemia della Fonte in Brescia, the Mille Miglia museum was inaugurated thanks to a group of enthusiasts who financed the restoration of the monastery and the setting-up of the museum.
The Automobile Club of Brescia, in addition to taking an active part as a member of the Association that runs the Museum, made available the Historical Archive of the 1000 Miglia, which it owns.
The management and the organization of the Red Arrow
The management of the Miglia by Marva Srl ended in 2007: the Automobile Club of Brescia announced a tender for the 5 year assignment of the management of all operations marked by the Red Arrow.
ATI (Associazione Temporanea d’Imprese) made up of MAC Group Srl, Meet Communication Srl and Sanremorally Srl won the tender and management ended in 2012 with the holding of the 30th edition of the Race.
Since 2013, the organization of the race and the management of the brand and licenses have been handled directly by the Automobile Club of Brescia, through its subsidiary 1000 Miglia Srl, an in-house company wholly owned by the organization.
The route of the “traveling museum”
If the number of entry applications increases year after year, the route, except for a few variations, is always the same. An itinerary that, respecting the original roads, the journey continues to represent one of the best promotions of Italy and its excellences.
The Red Arrow: a symbol rich in history
In designing the “red arrow” with white writing, in order to indicate the race path, Renzo Castagneto could not have thought that, at the beginning of the third millennium, his symbol would have continued to indicate what is still the “most beautiful race in the world”.
An event with very different characteristics from the original speed race, which continues to be a prestigious, internationally known and loved brand.
All the organizers of the 1000 Miglia
From the 1000 Miglia speed race to the re-enactment of the vintage car Race, there have been many organizers and promoters over the years. Personalities who have been able to enrich each edition with a pioneering spirit and a passion for excellence.
1927 – 1940 (except 1939): Royal Automobile Club of Brescia.
1947 – 1957: Automobile Club of Brescia.
1958 – 1961 (Editions with Rally formula, except 1960): Automobile Club of Brescia.
1967 (“10 Miglia” Re-enactment): Musical Watch Veteran Car Club Brescia.
1968 (Historical Re-enactment for the launch of the Alfa Romeo 1750): Alfa Romeo S.p.A.
1977 (Historical Re-enactment): M. W. V. C. Club and ACI Brescia.
1982 – 2007 (except 1983 e 1985, Historical Commemoration): Marva Srl under licence from ACI Brescia.
2008 – 2012 (Historical Re-enactment): A.T.I. under licence from ACI Brescia.
Since 2013 (Historical Re-enactment): 1000 Miglia Srl, in-house company of Automobile Club of Brescia.

Let’s look back at the locations of Leg 2 of the #1000Miglia2024 ✨
📍Genoa
Another new feature of the 1000 Miglia 2024: Genoa. After reaching the coast, on the Ligurian Sea, the crews arrived at the city’s Porto Antico, where lunch was held on the second day of the race. The cars then paraded through the streets of the city centre and, greeted by a large crowd, passed under the arch of Piazza Vittoria.
📍La Spezia
The last Ligurian act of the 2024 edition of the Red Arrow was the passage through La Spezia: first the Passage Control and the Time Trials among the imposing frigates of the Navy inside the Maritime Military Arsenal, then another passage stamped in the heart of the city, in Piazza Verdi.
📍Viareggio
Once in Versilia, the crews reached Viareggio, where the Art Nouveau buildings of the famous Passeggiata provided the backdrop for four Time Trials. The Time Control that marked the end of Leg 2 was at Torre del Lago Puccini, in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the death of the Maestro.

Let’s look back on the locations of Leg 1 of the #1000Miglia2024 ✨
📍Brescia
The race started on 11 June from the city of its origins: Brescia, a place that is the past, present and future, the soul and heart of the Race, the start and arrival since the first edition.
📍Palazzolo sull’Oglio
Continuing on, the crews were welcomed with great enthusiasm by the town known for the beauty of its Tower, a true symbol of Palazzolo, which at a height of 92 metres is the tallest round-based civic bell tower in Europe.
📍Turin
And finally, the first novelty of the #1000Miglia2024: for the first time, the re-enactment of the race stopped in Turin. The passage through Via Roma to Piazza San Carlo, where the cars were presented to the public, was special, with the glimpse of the Mole Antonelliana which, for the occasion, was illuminated by the Red Arrow.

L’11 giugno la gara è partita dalla città che le ha dato i natali: Brescia, luogo che è passato, presente e futuro, anima e cuore della Corsa, sede di partenza e arrivo sin dalla prima edizione.
📍Palazzolo sull’Oglio
Proseguendo, gli equipaggi sono stati accolti con grande entusiasmo dalla città conosciuta per la bellezza della sua Torre, vero e proprio simbolo di Palazzolo, che con i suoi 92 metri d’altezza è la torre civica campanaria a base circolare più alta d’Europa.
📍Torino
E, infine, la prima novità della #1000Miglia2024: per la prima volta la rievocazione della corsa ha fatto tappa a Torino. Il passaggio in via Roma fino a Piazza San Carlo, dove le vetture sono state presentate al pubblico, è stato speciale, con il colpo d’occhio della Mole Antonelliana che, per l’occasione, si è illuminata della Freccia Rossa.

The #1000Miglia2024 finished on the Viale Venezia platform 🔚🥲
Here are the names of the winners 🏆:
🥇 Andrea Vesco and Fabio Salvinelli in a Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Ss Spider Z from 1929
🥈 Gianmmario Fontanella and Anna Maria Covelli in a Lancia Lambda Casaro VII Serie from 1927
🥉 Alberto Aliverti and Stefano Valente in a Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Ss Spider Z from 1929
The winners were awarded the Coppa 1000 Miglia 2024, a work of art created by Dutch artist Sabine Marcelis, a perfect metaphor for a Team victory:
the sculpture, in fact, is composed of two parts that, when joined together, make up a whole. Two complementary pieces, designed to be autonomous and intended for the driver and co-driver, which only through their union find completeness 💫

Sulla pedana di Viale Venezia si è conclusa la #1000Miglia2024 🔚🥲
Ecco i nomi dei vincitori🏆:
🥇Andrea Vesco e Fabio Salvinelli a bordo di una Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Ss Spider Z del 1929
🥈 Gianmmario Fontanella e Anna Maria Covelli a bordo di una Lancia Lambda Casaro VII Serie del 1927
🥉 Alberto Aliverti e Stefano Valente a bordo di una Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Ss Spider Z del 1929
I vincitori si sono aggiudicati la Coppa 1000 Miglia 2024, un’opera d’arte realizzata dall’artista olandese Sabine Marcelis, metafora perfetta della vittoria in Team:
la scultura, infatti, è composta da due parti che, unite, la compongono nella sua interezza. Due pezzi complementari, pensati per essere autonomi e destinati a pilota e copilota, che solo con la loro unione trovano completezza💫
