EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the thrilling moment of Italian champion Felice Nazzaro crossing the finish line at the 1907 Targa Florio race in Sicily. Driving the iconic Fiat car that brought him victory, Nazzaro's determination and skill are palpable as he navigates the grueling mountain roads with an average speed of around 33 mph. The red Fiat, covered in a thick layer of dust, stands out against the arid, sun-scorched landscape, adding to the sense of excitement and adventure. The Targa Florio, held in the rugged and challenging terrain of Sicily, was one of the oldest and most prestigious motor races in the world. Known for its difficult and winding mountain roads, the race tested both the strength and agility of both driver and vehicle. Nazzaro's impressive win marked a significant moment in the history of motoring, showcasing the potential of the automobile and the skill of its drivers. Frederick Gordon Crosby, the renowned British photographer, captured this iconic image, immortalizing the spirit of the Targa Florio and the thrill of early motor racing. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of automobiles and the passion that drives those who dare to push the limits on the open road.
