Lamborghini

What a find for us.. We were walking to the train station to take the train to Cortona when the noise of cars was brought to our attention. All sorts of men milling about, the police controlling traffic. All of sudden at the round about comes 3 race cars (Jerry had to tell me Lamborghini ). The pice would stop the traffic  and about 3-4 would roar by. I would say they were going about  40 but around a turn. With the straight away below we could see them going about 60mph. They has to share the road with the rest of the population. We decides to forget Cortona, this was way more interesting.  They later had a parade in
Piazza Popolo
Below I found on google
The Lamborghini 50th Anniversary Grand Tour is the largest gathering ever of cars from the “House of the Raging Bull”, organised to celebrate the Lamborghini’s 50th anniversary: a convoy of some 4 km long and 190,000 hp on the road. The 350 cars (320 registered participants and approximately 30 courtesy cars for the press and guests) are now arriving in the parc fermè at Piazza Castello in front of the Sforzesco Castle, (Milan ) with their respective pilots and co-pilots totalling 700 people.)

The 50th Anniversary Grand Tour, with more than 700 participants representing 29 countries, ” The first destination of the Lamborghini Grand Tour will be Bobbio, the soul of the Trebbia Valley, then the first day will be concluded in Forte dei Marmi, one of the most exclusive seaside resorts on the Tyrrhenian coast. After Forte dei Marmi, the convoy will arrive on May 9 in Rome, passing through the base of the 4° Stormo of Air Force at Grosseto. The morning of May 10 (Coincidently our chance to see this )it will restart again in the direction of Bologna, crossing the towns of Orvieto, Arezzo and San Giustino Valdarno, where all participants will stop for lunch at the Tenuta il Bobbio. On the 10th evening, the cars will arrive in the center of Bologna, where the city will offer a welcome in the prestigious setting of Palazzo Re Enzo.
The final little fiat ( full of simply a huge man)was simply in the wrong place at the wrong!
