Founded in 1906 by wealthy race enthusiast Vincenzo Florio, the Targa Florio was one of the oldest and most challenging motorsport events in the world. Set on narrow, winding roads through the Sicilian countryside, it was as beautiful as it was dangerous. Practice sessions often happened on public roads, with children playing nearby and locals watching from their doorsteps. Over the years, it became a proving ground for the greatest drivers and manufacturers, symbolizing true automotive courage
