Superveloce with Peter Grimsdale (Wetherby)

From the author of High Performance and Racing

Through the Dark, the story of how Italy rose from

the ashes of the Second World War to lead the

world with its beautiful fast cars.

Peter traces a century of Italian design genius, the rise of great

marques such as Ferrari, Fiat and Alfa Romeo. We see the lives

of fiercely charismatic and competitive drives like Ascari, Varzi

and Nuvolari. Does the secret lie deep in Italy’s cultural heritage

– in historic links between art and machine going back to da

Vinci? Or is it simply ‘sprezzatura’ – the art of making something

difficult look effortlessly easy?

Come along and join us for a superveloce evening.
