Luca Delli Carri had delighted motoring enthusiasts with the unforgettable “Gli Indisciplinati”, the story of an epic (and tragic) season of the Ferrari drivers in the late ‘50s, written with the indispensable testimony of Romolo Tavoni, sporting director Scuderia of that era. A generation of riders appeared in the limelight and swept away by death within a few years, with impressive tenacity. It was a motoring still populated by mythical figures, capable of almost heroic feats, today unthinkable and irrecoverable, in this era dominated by technology and the reason of state advertising, where drivers appear as faded stunt. Right now, then, to more ‘than ten years after the death of Ayrton Senna, perhaps the last rider of the risk, he felt the need’ to a recovery of historical memory, not the result of arbitrary synthesis, but collected by the warm voice of the protagonists : Delli Carri, with admirable care and precision, a true historic racing, has enclosed in three volumes (more than ‘one dedicated to motorcycling) an invaluable oral history of motor racing, since the war, in-depth interviews with the main protagonists of the various epochs: the narrated events are kept alive, as will remain forever in the memory of those who lived them; budgets existential mingle fussy memories, and regret for missed opportunities is accompanied by satisfaction with the victories; from the words of the pilots also they appear, mercilessly, the human limitations of known figures, who often decided the fate of the races for the reason of the team, almost trampling primates joined by those who fought at the risk of life. “La danza dei piedi veloci” is the second volume of the cycle, and tells of the time perhaps the most’ exciting: from 1971 to 1987, the years of Arturo Merzario, Vittorio Brambilla, Sandro Munari, but also of Michele Alboreto, Bruno Giacomelli, Andrea de Cesaris, Dario Cerrato. A book should not be missed.
