This poster marks the 60th anniversary of the Mille Miglia—“60 anni di Mille Miglia” meaning 60 years of the Mille Miglia—and also celebrates “60 anni di Automobile Club Brescia,” the organization that created and managed the race. Produced for the 1987 commemorative running (not a competitive race but a historic rally), it highlights the classic Brescia–Roma–Brescia route with a stylized map of Italy and the red Mille Miglia arrow. The dates “1927–1987” anchor the anniversary, while the event dates “21–24 Maggio” translate to 21–24 May. The many sponsor logos—Agip, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Iveco, Banca Popolare di Brescia, and others—reflect the strong industrial and cultural support behind the revived event. Overall, it’s a celebratory poster honoring both the legendary thousand‑mile road race and the Brescia institutions that preserved its legacy.Collection
