Gaetano Starrabba Principe di Giardinelli MotorSport Photo Book

Product description

This photographic book is dedicated to Prince Gaetano Starrabba di Giardinelli, and, with unpublished and exclusive images from his personal archive, retraces his extraordinary racing career from 1953 to 1970.

From his first races with a Fiat 500, to a Patriarca 750 Sport, and then continuing with wonderful cars like the Maserati A6GCS, the Ferrari 500 TR, the Ferrari 500 TRC, and the Porsche 718, always achieving significant results. In 1961, he also participated in the Italian Grand Prix with a Lotus 18.

In the following years, Prince Starrabba continued to compete in Formula 2 with a Brabham, and in other races, including the Targa Florio, of which he was a great specialist, with the Ferrari GTO, the Ferrari 250 LM, the Ferrari 275 GTB, the Porsche 911, the Carrera 6.

The book also offers us the account of the meeting that journalist Valeria Paci had with the Prince, a story that presents this “last Sicilian Leopard” in a completely new way.

A volume that can therefore be defined as a true historical representation of that period of MotorSport, certainly unique and unrepeatable, of which Prince Starrabba was a great protagonist.
