The Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti Returns

First the Mille Miglia re-run, then the Targa Florio with an environmental twist, now the Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti—once known as the Mille Miglia of the mountains—is back. The race was originally run through northern Italy’s Dolomite mountains from 1947-’56, its winners including Ferrari heroes Giovanni Bracco in 1946, Giannino Marzotto in 1950, his brother Paolo in 1952 and 1953 and Olivier Gendebien in 1955.

The Coppa re-run, which has been resurrected several times, will be based in the holiday town of Cortina d’Ampezzo, and organized for the next five years by the Meet Communications group of Rome, headed by Alessandro Casali. Casali was one of the key players in the Mille Miglia commemoration event until recently.
