Bonnet of a “Topolino”
From Caporetto (Kobarid, Slovenia) to Miramare castle, the forty Fiat Topolino cars arrive in Trieste in the famous Piazza Unità d'Italia. Here, under the vault of a blue sky in late spring, the illustrious buildings provide the backdrop for the various colours of these legendary cars. They stand before the passionate eyes of their owners, from noon to six in the afternoon, making the main square of the capital of our charming region more picturesque than ever. The stuff of dreams in another era, now they attract the curious looks of passers-by who stop to admire their shapes.
View of the parked “Topolinos”
In the late afternoon, they set off again in orderly manner towards the Molo Audace jutting out into the sea. They bear with them much charm and a subtle nostalgia that is absorbed by the people who watch them leave.
The historic Topolinos then head for Palmanova. Here, in Piazza Grande, they make a fine display. From the star-shaped city, they set off once again to finish their journey at Castions di Strada along the Via Napoleonica.
Trieste, molo Audace
In agreement with the Automotoclub storico italiano, the route was planned by the Topolino autoclub Italia, founded in 1977 in Bologna.
