Revving and enjoying myself in the Duetto. Something somebody would describe as Concourse de Elegance. We had a formal presentation of the Spiders. A board and jury made the evaluation. I only had eyes for the true Duettos, like this one. However, the yellow S4 is also a winner, if you ask me.

But nothing can be like a Duetto round-tail. Steering geometry from 1966. This very nice couple drove around in a modified and resprayed Spider Aeordinaimca. Decorated with paper, looks like from the toilet, Very nice couple though.

Time for prize and premium for another excellent event in Italy. Riccardone is very happy for his prize. Hehe, it's mine, only mine! 2tto66 got an award for his immaculate Oss di Seppia 1966. Il Presidente Massimiliano at his best.

Very nice, I got "un premio", a bear. Bebo made a speech.  Mlle grazie. Me and Bebo, good mates. We'll be back again, that's for sure. Tosco family and the new alfista. Very nice family! Tosco took a lot of the pictures.

Time to say goodbye. From Orvieto to l'Aquila over the mountains of Abbruzio. Deserted roads and a dream to drive the Spider here. Very scenic views. Over the Appenini, no traffic and very abandonded. Strange feeling to drive on the winding roads. Most people take the Autostrada.

As we love to go on small roads, we met sheep and goats. Festina lente, take it easy. This dog took care of the entire herd. We stayed there and the dog was very good at bringing the herd over the road. Well done. Strange view for us. Something we never seen at home.

The mountain view from our room. We drove via Umbria, Toscana and Emilia Romagna to Lago di Garda. This picture is from the Conca d'Oro.

I did not know what would come the following days.
