The Mille Miglia returns to Brescia in 2026 with its 44th historical reenactment. Five days of racing, from June 9 to 13, and a figure-eight route that looks back to its origins, crossing iconic landscapes, art cities, mountain passes, and UNESCO sites. Over 400 historic cars bring back to the road an idea of speed made of elegance, ingenuity, and courage. The Red Arrow is much more than a race: it is part of the city's identity. An event that calls the whole world. An event proudly from Brescia!
