Travelling through the jewels of Sicily
Palermo, 11 October
The second day of the 2013 Targa Florio Ferrari Tribute 2013 sees the teams assemble for the start in a sunny Catania. Among the monuments of the city, which is situated near Mount Etna, classic cars such as the Ferrari 512 BB seem particularly at ease. After a few kilometres on the road, the assorted models including the 550 Barchetta, the Mondial T Cabriolet and the 458 Spider have their tops down: with a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius it is hard to resist the temptation of travelling in the open air. The course continues to wind alongside the volcano that is enjoying a sly rest under a solitary, peaceful cloud, while the group heads towards Caltagirone. The wide variety of countryside presents the participants with glimpses that could be Catalan along the route with acres of short vines. After a brief stop the journey continues in the direction of Caltanisetta, along a mixed stretch of road where the sportiest Ferraris stand out for their manoeuvrability. After bends upon bends, the long snake of scarlet cars arrives at Corso Umberto, where it is greeted by a happy crowd that gazes with great curiosity at the intricacies of the various cars like the 550 Maranello, 328 GTS and 512 TR to name a few. Youngsters, adults, women, children, the public who have come to see the 2013 Targa Florio Ferrari Tribute is very mixed: a sign that the Ferraris have admirers of every age! A little later the caravan gets back moving again en route to Agrigento where it enjoys a memorable passage through the magnificent Valley of Temples, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. With the striking buildings that hail from the era of Ancient Greece as the background, the Ferraris carry out the traditional timed sections and arrive in the fascinating castle of Chiaramonte. There’s time for a short break before the cars from Maranello are back on the road towards Palermo, the end of today’s stage. Thus, in the final phase of the second day there’s time to travel through a few typical small towns such as Castelvetrano, where the Church of the Purgatory stands, plus Gibellina and Partinico. Late in the evening the last crews reach Palermo University, where the partying students welcome the return of the cars from Maranello that they had already been enthusiastically admiring yesterday morning.
