Tazio Nuvolari Artwork

Artist Thom Montanari paints a picture of Tazio Nuvolari toward the end of his brilliant career.

Tazio Nuvolari was truly a pure racer. Although he initially raced motorcycles, he eventually migrated over to four-wheeled machinery. Nuvolari was well known for his uncanny ability to beat his competition despite oftentimes inferior equipment. Seen here in his native city of Mantua, Nuvolari is behind the wheel of a 1948 Ferrari 125 S with the road equipment removed.
