SUMMARY:Montepulciano: Barrel Race
DESCRIPTION:Every last Sunday of August this Tuscan hilltop town is consumed in the\, by then\, week-long celebration of the Bravio delle Botti\, also known as the “Barrel Race”. The festivities kick off with the presentation of the Bravium\, the victory banner\, which is painted each year by a select artist with a winning design based on on a specific theme; the Bravium is then presented to the town the Sunday before the race. You can choose to see just the race but the town invites all to come and support the spingitori (the pushers) the entire week before in their evening training sessions. Representatives from the eight districts (2 per district) train at night for the uphill race (over half a mile) where partners  work together to push a 176 pound barrel through the historic streets of Montepulciano to the finish line in Piazza Grande. \nThe Thursday before the race guests can witness the Procession of the Candles where flag-wavers\, drummers and the candle bearers parade through the town in the evening and meet up in Piazza Grande to watch a performance and enjoy a firework show. The following day the race begins at 7pm where the strongest spingitori race for the Bravium. \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.

SUMMARY:Monza: Italian Grand Prix
DESCRIPTION:Monza is regarded by many as the embodiment of Formula One racing. Not only is it a fantastic example of a track that combines speed with skill\, it also has a heart and soul all of its own. It has seen some of the finest races of all time\, but also some of the sport’s worst accidents. The names of great drivers and the sounds of engines from years gone by linger in the grand old trees surrounding the track in the royal park. \nFormula One racing visited the circuit as part of the inaugural season in 1950\, and it has remained a permanent fixture on the calendar ever since. Over that time\, Monza has borne witness to an incredible list of historic moments\, famous victories and horrifying crashes. All combine to make it one of the most magical places on the Formula One calendar. For many there is nowhere that encapsulates the sport better than this circuit. The Italians call it La Pista Magica\, the magic track\, a description few would disagree with. \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.
