If you have the possibility to admire vintage vehicles not locked in a garage, but while they are running along a historic route, the experience turns out to be even more interesting, and its evocative power gets stronger: this is the case of the Monte Mario Motorcycling Circuit, an event which will take place in Rome on the 10th of May 2009 for the 6th consecutive year. Motorbikes of all brands built before the 31st of December 1979 can take part in this non-competitive race, which is very exciting also for the public: every year many people watch the race and spend a wonderful holiday in Rome at once.
The day begins early for motorcyclists, with the preliminary operations and the race entry, followed by the recognition lap and the beginning of the race, at 10 o’clock. A prize will be awarded to those who will make the best time, but some special prices will be awarded also to the youngest and the oldest motorcyclists and to the motorcyclist who comes from the longer way off, while all participants will receive a souvenir of the event. For these reasons this is a unique chance for all those who have a vintage motorbike, and who can finally carry it out of the garage, make it spick-and-span and ride along Rome’s streets, but also visitors will enjoy the show: many people come from all over Italy (many of them stay in Rome’s hostels) to admire very rare models, besides the historical vehicles of Carabinieri, Polizia di Stato, Polizia Municipale, Vigili del Fuoco and Polizia Penitenziaria, which open the parade by tradition.

The history and the fascinating location where the event takes place make it even more interesting: Monte Mario, 149 metres high, is the most imposing relief in Rome, and from here you can enjoy one of the most spectacular views of the city. Moreover Monte Mario circuit, which was born again in 2004, is well-known by all motor lovers because also Tazio Nuvolari drove in it on the 24th of February 1925, consigning it to history.
In conclusion, if you have a passion for motorbikes, or if you simply would like to watch a very interesting historical re-enactment in one of the most famous and beautiful zones of the eternal city, book now a 5 star hotel in Rome and do not miss the Monte Mario Motorcycling Circuit.
