The way things are going here in the States, I just might exercise my right to Italian citizenship as my mother was born in Masserano Italy. We will break bread and have a bottle of Tuscan Red. There are two thing we Italians love to do .... eat and ride.

Beautiful. My wife wants to go to Italy after I retire (next year?).

Maybe I should.

Hi.
If your Mother comes from Masserano, you are in Piemonte region, and so you dont have to drink Tuscan, but red Barolo or Barbera or Barbaresco or Bracchetto or Bramaterra or Dolcetto etc. etc. http://www.vinovini.it/vino-rosso/piemonte#

We italians do better even more!

Thanks for the pics - I love the blue paint and high pipes on the 'S' - I built my Roadster to look a bit like that, some 30 years ago! I also have Italian ancestry - my great-great grandmother was the Contessa di Lagomarsino, and although she was born on Zante (present day Zakynthos), her family were from near Verona.

Hi,
a lot of italans here!.
Lagomarsino is a small village on the Genova (Liguria) hills.
Zante (or Zacinto) was at first under Venezia then British and then Austrian.
This island has a very nice beach.
Verona is a very nice place (Romeo and Juliet from W Shakespeare).
Ciao
Piero

I've never actually been to Lagomarsino - I keep meaning to do so! I've worked at the Mugello and Misano GP tracks, and visited the Ferrari museum at Maranello, but that's about it.

No mirrors?? My wife & I want to visit Liguria & maybe get a place there.

A good idea.
