The Novafoto-Sorlini collection, acquired from the publisher in 1989, is worth a chapter on its own. It is a really important photographic source (about 8,000 pictures) taken by Alberto Sorlini, the official photographer of the Mille Miglia from 1947 to 1957. In that decade, Sorlini built up a patrimony of pictures that show almost all the drivers, crews and cars that competed in the celebrated Brescian marathon. A collection of great historic-cultural importance that documents the most extraordinary road race of all time.

As far as this photographic source is concerned, to identify a car or crew that competed on one of the celebrated post war races, it will be necessary to provide at least one of these research keys:

  • the race number of the car you wish to find
  • the name of the driver or at least one of the two crew members
  • the make and model of the car or, at least, its registration number
  • the year of the race
