The first edition of the Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti dates back to 1947, when the renewed passion for motorsport in the post-war years led to the creation of a competitive route through the mountains of Veneto. During its golden years, the Coppa was a pure speed race, featuring legendary brands such as Ferrari, Maserati, Porsche, Alfa Romeo, and Lancia. Among the most famous winners was Giovanni Bracco, who triumphed in 1950 behind the wheel of a Ferrari. The race was interrupted in 1956 for safety reasons, but it was revived in the 1990s as a historic regularity event, preserving its original charm. Today, the Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti is part of the international FIA and ACI Storico calendars, confirming its status as a must-attend event for those who love motors, history, and breathtaking landscapes.
