Having done the Mille Miglia many times, here's my guide on how to enjoy this crazy event without actually entering a car in the MM itself. Includes the best viewing points, the best driving roads and where to stay.
Many thanks to emrogerstransport.com for taking the cars to Brescia and back home again after the event.

Such a great humble dude. Notices oil under his car, and grabs dust and a pan to mop it up without anyone knowing. True gentleman. Also a heck of a car guy. Hope I get to enjoy life like you are. What a trip.

I concur wholeheartedly. Now you peasants stay on your side of the class divide whilst I dine on horse ass in Lyon with some of that fresh 2019 wine, none of that 1959 crap for me!! And my Dodge Magnum is the best of all worlds. MB E-class front end, S-class rear end, 120” wheelbase, Hemi grunt, and a timeless shape, rivaled only in modern times by the Porsche Panamera Tourismo. Wagons are superior. Hemi engines are top notch a d easy to maintain, Mercedes architecture is the finest, and American affordability made this all available. Plus my lifetime bumper to bumper warranty means this car will be around longer than the dealership. And if they don’t get their shit together, it might be sooner than later.

How awe-inspiring it is to see an entire country welcome and celebrate these wonderful old cars being driven and enjoyed in the manner in which they were designed to be. Absolutely marvelous. Italy is an example to the rest of the world. This was just heavenly to watch. Thank You Harry.

The Italian people make the event in my view, their enthusiasm and support for the historic re-enactment is something to behold, with huge cheering crowds literally everywhere! quite a fantastic experience which I'd recommend to anyone..

Harry - I have been driving back and forth to Rome (from London) for decades. I rarely do France and never go anywhere near Paris. I always get the tunnel and then go through Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany down to Innsbruck and then the Brenner pass. No tolls. Or I get off the peage just after Rheims and do N routes down to Basle. I have dozens of different routes and combinations. It's not cheap it's true. One thing about the roads in France - they are bloody good.

This it quite funny. I live in Brescia and I followed the Mille Miglia six times since 2010 to 2019 this way. Even more fun is that five out of six times I did it in a 4th series Alfa spider and I agree more or less about everything. If you drive a classic you will be part of the feast; if the car is a spider you'll have the bonus of fully enjoying the Italian spring at its peak. For sure I agree too that the highlight of the race is the third day, the Cassia road from Viterbo to Siena and the Futa and Raticosa passes. Having been born in the flatlands of Lombardy I am not that that interested in the first leg; when you leave Lombardy and enter the Emilia region you can cut off most of the route by motorway. Until a few years ago the race lasted three days only and I still come back home after Futa and Raticosa, the last leg being quite boring. But most of all I agree to what Harry says at 56:10 "just enjoy it while we can still do it". Having followed the MM so many times I saw a lot of silly people doing really stupid, dangerous things.

For anyone who hasnt been to Mille Miglia - I had done both the finish at Brescia and also a stage stay over in Bologna: both we amazing. There is a super great atmosphere. Brescia centre where they finish is beautiful so that is a nice place to see it end. Bologna is an amazing city and actually you got closer to the cars - the first finishers stay in Piazza Maggiore in a sectioned area but the overspill drive through the streets and most areas have no barriers so you can literally high 5 the drivers and see the cars up close. If you love old cars then this is the Mecca and to see them being driven and some of them driven hard too is awesome. Loved this episode Harry!

GREAT video, thanks. I've subscribed for just two or three years now and these are always a delight. This, during our New York City stay-at-home/work-from-home endurance race vs an insidious virus, really picked up my spirits. I've been to Italy twice. Both visits included Siena and the Val d'Orcia: Seggiano, Montalcino and, further north up the SR2, Tenuta la Campana, a lovely agriturismo in the Crete Senesi between Monteroni d'Arbia and Asciano. As such, I was able to very quickly - per road signs behind you - Google-map your exact spot on the roadside where the SR2 meets the SP24 to Radicofani. Great stuff. When I was a teen in the 1970s my Dad for a good long time had a Fiat 124 Spider. Great memories.

When I drive to Italy I go through Belgium, Germany and Switzerland, the extra distance is made up for by the lower tolling and of course Autobahn! Even taking into account the Swiss Vignette it's cheaper than using the French autoroutes.

That was great Harry. I'm glad you posted this. Italy is definitely one of the most beautiful countries in the world. A neighbor of mine in San Diego had one of these Alfa spyders, back in the 80s. She loved that car and took good care of it. She took me somewhere in it once and it was great fun riding in it. Never got to drive it.

Perhaps an electric fuel pump to fill the bowls when you switch they key on and eliminate the vapor lock. It may save your starter. Slight modification may make it much more enjoyable.

Agreed, other than concerns for originality's sake. I pulled the starter on my Alfa 7 times in a year, once. Lived young and broke in a hot country once, but still drove an Alfa !

Hi again Harry, I really enjoyed this one, when you arrived in Sienna , it reminded me of a journey I did in 1967 in my '62 Consul Capri { I'm sure you remember those cars .the one with the massive boot}.I was driving up from Rome and arrived in Sienna in the middle of the night,,,,this was in 1967!. What a place .my exhaust echoing between the buildings.... thought I must come here again soon,,that was 53 years ago! I've still not returned. but your video has got me thinking ..if Italy is open for visitors this year... think I'll take my Mustang GT. Perhaps I'll do a video!

Nice video, as always. Best shot is the landscape around the 32:07 mark. Doesn't get more Tuscan than that. A tip to make your video's better is to look into a camera gimbal. Makes the handheld shots, like in Sienna, more professional and easier on the eys.

Thank you once again for a real review with a down to earth feeling of the rally. And yes I think modern stuff maybe ruin a bit the feeling of the rally, even more then they are overtaking with no respect for the classic cars... But anyway a real dream to do a trip like this through Italy spotting Mille Miglia, big thanks for this long format video to approach the very best of Italy, and the Duetto, perfect car for the business!
