When i climbed the twisted roads of it, my eyes found the answers.

Home to Arabs and Romans, full of nineteenth century villas and hunting homes, full of greenery and views that take your breath away.
Monte Pellegrino is a beautiful promontory that rises on Palermo.
It is one of the ancient symbol of motorsport in the world.

Destination for racing-enthusiasts who in the past would gather here for the HillClimb of Monte Pellegrino.
Unfortunately, racing habits were lost, but love and passion for cars is still alive here.
However, love is not enough.
For a true petrolhead, to see and feel is more important.
The feelings and emotions must be palpable, touchable by hand, grasp, driven.
So, in need of gasoline and tires smoking, enthusiasts and drivers create one of the most beautiful events of the year here in Palermo.
The Monte Pellegrino Historic - Concours d'elegance and Hillclimb, now in its fourth edition.

Over the years, the event has been growing more, touching sacred places like the Sanctuary of Santa Rosalia and Pergusa, the historic Sicilian racetrack.
The event, in growing up, went positioning itself, for beauty, just after the Targa Florio, and overcoming it for organization and beauty on certain occasions.

Nino Vaccarella, Jean Guichet, Sandro Munari, Carlo Facetti, Anna Cambiaghi, Ariella Mannucci and Anneliese Abarth were the guests of honor of the event and for all four days were in the company of 120 drivers from all over the world.

Pergusa was an outsider test on Tuesday.
The "Circuit of the Real Favorita Park" was the first of the two rounds in Palermo, the paths of the park, where at the end of the 30s were held four editions of the Targa Florio.
Monte Pellegrino was the protagonist on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning with the "Historical Re-enactment" of the famous uphill race.

In my life I have witnessed many events, good and bad.
Without a doubt, I can say that the Monte Pellegrino is my favorite event of the year.
I had never seen so much elegance and beauty contained in a single event so wonderful and so well organized.

As I said, in the life of any car enthusiast, emotions should be touched with hands, breathe, feel.
They must explode in the heart as when, for the first time you see the girl of your dreams.
And when you see out of the garage, a 33 long tail, along with a 910, ready to do battle in a race, if you feel the same emotions that gives you love, then the organizers have centered perfectly the point.
When approaching in April, strangely, I feel within me something that breaks out.
I think that is the love for this event, which has made me what I am, improving me and improving my eyes on life.
