This 1992 Mille Miglia poster commemorates the revival of Italy’s legendary 1000-mile endurance race, originally run from 1927 to 1957. Dominating the design is the iconic Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR #722, famously driven by Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson in the 1955 race. The detailed map traces the modern route from Brescia to Rome and back, passing through historic cities like Florence, Siena, and San Marino. The poster blends motorsport nostalgia with national pride, supported by sponsors such as Chopard Genève, Agip, and Mercedes-Benz, and endorsed by the Italian and San Marino tourism ministries. The original Mille Miglia, run from 1927 to 1957, was one of the most grueling and romanticized road races in automotive history. Spanning roughly 1000 miles from Brescia to Rome and back, it ran through Italy’s varied terrain—mountains, cities, and countryside. Legendary marques like Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, and Lancia battled for glory, with drivers such as Tazio Nuvolari, Rudolf Caracciola, and Stirling Moss becoming icons. Moss’s 1955 victory in the Mercedes 300 SLR #722 remains one of the most celebrated drives ever, completing the course in just over 10 hours.Collection
