At this moment, in the middle of a heavy snow storm, we received this sunny story by Rick Nicolaas who tells us of a surprise visit: "In July, Sunday 25th, I was invited to a car tour, in the area of Bologna, Italy, by Stefano Paracchi. I arrived on Saturday night from Holland to stay in a very nice house owned by Felice. He also ownes a pizzeria, the Trattoria da Felice, worth a visit for a meal. Sunday morning we drove to a castle in Anzola Emilia. Here I was handed over the car I was going to drive for the day, a Lancia Flaminia from the sixties. This car belonged to Stefano's grandfather. I was very honoured to drive this car. The castle I realized a little while later belongs to Mario Righini, who ownes a private collection of 350 prewar and postwar cars. We ended up later in the day to see a part of his collection.  The collection is amazing. He owns very special and rare cars like the only still surviving Avio 815. Enzo Ferrari's first car he ever built after he left Alfa Romeo to set up his own car factory."
