Arriiving in Italy

We landed Sunday Morning in Milan and went straight to the famous Zagato design studios for lunch. Andrea Zagato previewed his latest creations- the Alfa built on a Viper platform. Zagato is a family business [since 1919] that works with  the greatest automobile manufacturers (Ferrari, Bentley, AlfaRomero and Aston Martin to name a few) and designs very limited productions of custom handbuilt Zagato version automobiles. Many of their designs are highly coveted by elite collectors. Then we drove to the beautiful lakefront town of Sirmione in Lake Garda. We will be staying at Villa Cortine until the race starts Thursday. The time between now and the race will be be 3 days of intense instruction and time for fun and great food!

  1. Ask Andrea Zagado if he would build me a car on my old pinto frame? Looks like a lot of good food and drink. David D.
