A Journey Through History: The Carmelino and the Legend of the Flying Mantuan

An event that weaves together faith, tradition, and a passion for motorsport. On January 25th at 10:30 AM, the Tazio Nuvolari Museum will host a special gathering dedicated to the extraordinary history of the Carmelino: the Church and Monastery of the Carmelite Mothers, now home to the Tazio Nuvolari Museum of Aci Mantova, which preserves the memory of the legendary “Flying Mantuan.”

A Place Rich in History

The event will provide an opportunity to uncover the deep roots of this building, filled with spirituality and significance. Claudia Bonora Previdi and Annamaria Mortari will guide attendees on a journey through the history of the Carmelino, revisiting the study published in the Quaderni di San Lorenzo. Once a place of prayer and reflection, the Monastery has transformed into a space celebrating the speed and genius of Tazio Nuvolari, creating a unique blend of the sacred and the secular.

Enriching Perspectives

The gathering will feature contributions from Amerigo Berto, President of the Association of Dominican Monuments, and Giuseppe Pottocar, Director of the Tazio Nuvolari Museum. With their expertise and passion for history and motorsport, these two speakers will offer valuable insights into how the past can harmoniously coexist with the present, building a bridge between spiritual heritage and cultural and sporting legacy.
