Day zero of the 1000 Miglia Experience Italy<\/strong> has ended: after three editions of Sorrento Roads, the Red Arrow is back in the town of Sorrento for its spring event, which will debut a new format<\/em><\/strong> this year. In addition to the best Campania has to offer, such as the Sorrento Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast, the 1000 Miglia Experience Italy will visit some of the most emblematic places in Basilicata and Puglia<\/strong>, crossing southern Italy along a 560-kilometre route<\/strong>, from the Tyrrhenian<\/strong> to the Adriatic coasts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This afternoon the Parco di Villa Fiorentino<\/strong>, headquarters of the Sorrento Foundation<\/strong>, hosted the technical and administrative checks of the cars, which with the help of the good weather attracted many curious onlookers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, from 6:30 p.m.<\/strong>, the cars competed in the 1 vs 1 knockout competition<\/strong> valid for the fourth edition of the Citt\u00e0 di Sorrento Trophy<\/strong>, where the citizens of Sorrento participated as always with great enthusiasm, reaching Corso Italia in large numbers to enjoy the head-to-head duel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, it was Flavio Bettinaldi and Sonia Facchini<\/strong> (daughter of the three times champions at the Sorrento Roads Alfonso Facchini and Luigia Olivetti) who won in their MG TB from 1939<\/strong>, beating Pier Luigi Fontana and Luca Ciucci<\/strong> in their Austin Healey 100 M from 1955<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 7:30<\/strong> a.m.<\/strong> tomorrow morning, the 1000 Miglia Experience Italy will start from Piazza Andrea Veniero<\/strong> and, after travelling along the Amalfi Coast<\/strong> and the south coast of Salerno<\/strong>, the crews will turn inland and stop in Caggiano for lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They will set off again for Basilicata, with a visit to Potenza<\/strong> and an afternoon full of sporting events in the central Lucanian Apennines.<\/strong> The day of racing will end in Piazza Caveoso in Matera<\/strong>, in the heart of the Citt\u00e0 dei Sassi<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n
