Hotel Brenzone, where also Nuvolari was living slowly

A yellow sweater, blue pants and brown leather vest, this was the “Nivola” equipment for his race. We are talking about the champion Tazio Nuvolari, born in Mantua but true lover of Lake Garda. Nuvolari is one of the famous guest who stayed in our Hotel in our 100 years history.

The Garda was special for Tazio, because many important events of his life took place around, as one of its first victories in Verona, or as the meeting with Gabriele D'Annunzio, where the poet in addition to giving him a commemorative plaque engraved the sentence "fastest man of the world, the slowest animal on earth", gift him a golden turtle that became his trademark, still recognized.

Twice winner of the Mille Miglia at the age of 56 in Brescia, passing to say hello to fellow drivers, he was hired and literally “put” in the car bringing again thrill trough the spectators. In 1930 was the first man able to cover the distance of the race with an average of over 60 miles/h. Nuvolari was like this: simple and passionate, characteristic that here in Brenzone we know well.

How to not wonder that the benefits of the fresh lake air and the mixed cousine, between delicate fish  and strong flavors of the mountain, help Tazio in his triumps. A sure fact is that Nuvolari in Brenzone was not in hurry but he married our vision of indulge, in the joy of complete rest in the nature with a so pristine landscape.
