The Argentine duo drives to victory at the end of a Mille Miglia that saw the two top ranking cars battle it out on the thousand miles (1600 km) of historic route that goes from Brescia to Rome and back. The Argentines, who had already come in first on the Rome leg, finally left their rivals in the dust after the last trial in Fiorano. In a battle without precedent, accompanied by an extraordinary welcome given by the public along the roads of Italy, car number 68, a 1933 Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 kept itself at the top of the classification - in the top two positions - for all of the three legs. Just behind it was the ten-time champion, Giuliano Canè. The entrepreneur from Bologna and his wife and partner in all of his races, Lucia Galliani, were on board a 1939 BMW 328 Mille Miglia Roadster. They took second place even though they had finished the first leg in the lead. Third place went to car number 61 driven by Moceri – Cavalleri, a 1933 Aston Martin Le Mans. Another one of the favorites did not make it this time: the winner of the last Mille Miglia, Giordano Mozzi of Mantua, who with his wife, Stefania Biacca, drove a splendid 1938 Lancia Astura, the only existing car of its model.
