        This info come from the Fall issue  of FORZA:

        The original race ran from 1927 to 1957 with a few years off for 
        the war.

        The course for 1991 'Storica was: Start in Bresica to Montchiari, 
        Asola, Colorno, Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna, Firenze, 
        Siena, Viterlo to Rome. From Rome, Rieti, Leonessa, Maddalena 
        Recanati, Ancona, Pesaro, Rimini, Ravenna Ferrara, Ostigia, Verona 
        and back to Bresica.

        A sidebar in the article relates the relative cost of various 
        expenses you will encounter should you choose to run in the Historic 
        Mille Miglia... E.g.:

        Car shipping (round trip from the west coast)   $10,000
        Airfare (for two)   $2,000
        Rental car (one week)   $1,000
        Gas  ~$5 x 100 gal      $500
        Hotel   (5 nights)    $1,000
        Dining  ~$1,400
        Souvenirs, etc. $1,000
        Entry fee       $2,500

        Of course if you feel profligate you can always spend more...
        But you may be able to get away a tad more cheaply. BTW, if you 
        take a support "crew" add approx. $2,000 per person. Ciao!
