EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured during the Mille Miglia 1000 mile road classic, we see the vibrant spirit of a Spanish nobleman-sportsman, the 27-year-old Marquis de Portago. Behind the wheel of his sleek Ferrari at the Rome checkpoint, he exudes confidence and passion for both speed and adventure. Little did anyone know that tragedy would soon strike. The Marquis de Portago's co-driver in this fateful race was Neddy Nelson, a close friend from their shared love of bobsledding. Both men were well-known figures in their respective sports circles and had embarked on this exhilarating journey together. However, destiny had other plans as disaster unfolded when their car tragically veered into spectators at Guidizollon. The devastating accident claimed not only the lives of eleven innocent bystanders but also those of De Portago and Nelson themselves. This haunting image serves as a reminder of how fleeting life can be and how even those who seemingly have it all can be taken away too soon. It captures a moment frozen in time before tragedy struck, forever preserving the memory of two talented individuals whose lives were cut short in pursuit of their passions. As we reflect upon this photograph, let us remember to cherish every precious moment with loved ones and appreciate each opportunity to pursue our dreams – for tomorrow is never promised.
