Nuvolari, Lui

More than seventy years after his death, Tazio Nuvolari is more than ever a legend, a symbol of talent, courage and tenacity, loved and remembered as one of the greatest talents of pre-war motor racing. This book tells his story, anecdotes, testimonials and unknown facets: the man, the racing driver, his cars, supplemented by a rich collection of often unpublished images compiled from archives around the globe. Special attention is paid to the technical aspects of the motorcycles and cars driven by Nuvolari. These vehicles were powerful machines that had to be mastered, designed and built at a time of exceptional mechanical creativity – they were true masterpieces of engineering.
