HISTORIC CARS AT MORIMONDO: THE JOY OF SHARING EMOTIONS IN ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES IN LOMBARDY
A lot of people love to drive, or even just to admire, historic cars, which are the witness of yesterday’s high-tech.
Vintage cars attract enthusiastic crowds in international competitions and a passionate and competent audience in local rallies. On 8th July 2019 at Morimondo about 90 crews gathered for the Lombard stage of "Ruote nella Storia", organized by the Automobile Club of Milan ( ACI storico) with the president ACI, Geronimo La Russa, Maurizio Cavezzali e Giandomenico Amodeo.
The OldCar24 team is present, high-class cars including the Lancia Aurelia B24, Jaguar E Type, Porsche, Austin Healey, Alfa Romeo and many others, in the lead there is the eighty-three MG PB Sport 1936, produced by Morris Garages in only 200 units between 1935 and 1936.
Perfectly preserved, in its amaranth-colored livery, this elegant sports car has had the recognition of the “oldest" historic car of the rally. On this occasion the young artist Beatrice Di Bitetto exhibited artistic works made with iron wire and stainless steel confetti; the most attractive sculpture was a Bugatti T35 model with a large hand that supports it, chosen to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the brand. Morimondo is the ideal place for events of this kind, because it is easily accessible from Milan, through Lodi.
The heart of the village is the ancient Cistercian Abbey, the first in Lombardy, founded in 1134, a subsidiary of the Abbey of Morimond, in France. It is a solemn and majestic building, as revealed by the great central nave of the church, which on a Romanesque base already raises the Gothic ogive. It offers an atmosphere of serene spirituality, continuously supported by the Abbatia Sancte Marie de Morimondo Foundation.
