Argentinean husband and wife team Juan Tonconogy and Barbara Ruffini doused each other with champagne on the traditional winners\u2019 ramp in Viale Venezia, Brescia, Italy, on May 19 after winning the 36th Mille Miglia Storica in their 1933 Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 GS (number 85).

Juan Tonconogy and Barbara Ruffini celebrate their Mille Miglia victory.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The couple and their Alfa beat 449 other competitors driving a fabulous array of cars, all built between 1927 and 1957 that wove their way to the delight of millions along the 1,000-mile route from Brescia to Rome and back. Second \u2013 more than 600 points adrift \u2013 were Dr. Giovanni Moceri and Brescian journalist Daniele Bonetti in their 1928 Alfa Romeo 6C 1850 SS Zagato and in third previous winners Andrea Vesco and Andrea Guerini driving a Fiat Siata 514 MM.<\/p>\n

The only thing to mar the event was the theft of Dutchman Jeroen Branderhorst\u2019s 1942 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport the night before the start. The car was locked away in a closed trailer and parked in the street outside the Hotel Nice, Brescia, where the owner was staying. Despite Branderhorst\u2019s appeal for the car\u2019s return \u2013 including on Facebook \u2013 the Alfa never appeared, so the car and crew were unable to compete.<\/p>\n
