20 days until registration closes

07/08/2022

This year, on the occasion of the 130th anniversary of the birth of the Mantuan champion, a special edition will be set up with the aim of bringing to life unique emotions, worthy of the legend of the driver - an icon of motorism - Tazio Nuvolari.

From 15th to 18th of September 2022, 300 crews from all over the world will travel a fascinating route of 1,100 km, divided into three stages of Northern-Central Italy, through Lombardy, Emilia Romagna, Marche and Veneto. The event, conceived and organized by Mantova Corse since 1991, will take place in compliance of international federations F.I.A. and F.I.V.A., with A.C.I. Sport and Historical Aci.

This 32nd edition confirms the partners Red Bull, Tag Heuer and Finservice, together with the return of Banca Generali, thanks to which the "Nuvolari" will strengthen some of its fundamental characteristics: sports competition, historical celebration and travelling tourism, discovering suggestive and particularly significant places.

Sensitive to the problems concerning the environmental protection, also this year the "Gran Premio Nuvolari Green" initiative will be re-launched, an important greening action, supported by the patronage of the Comune di Mantova.
The environmental impact caused by the circulation of the historic cars participating in the event will be balanced by the planting, in selected areas, of such a number of tall trees as to equipoise the total emission of CO2.

The itinerary of Gran Premio Nuvolari Nuvolari represents the synthesis of Italian beauties. It starts with something new: on Thursday 15th of September, after the pre-race checks, it will take place the “Premio Mantova 2022 – Nuvolari 130 Years”, a nighty prologue, a city route of 7,5 km across the streets of city centre of Mantua.

In the afternoon the crews will run across the streets of Arezzo, with the stamp control of Montevarchi and Pieve Santo Stefano, towards the Viamaggio pass.
