#SanremoPoggioDeiFiori
The Sanremo–Poggio dei Fiori is a historic Italian hill climb first held in 1929 on the roads above the coastal city of Sanremo in Liguria. The race ascends from the city center toward the Poggio plateau, following a winding and technical mountain road. With a total length of approximately 10.5 kilometers, the course features a mix of fast bends, hairpins, and steep gradients, making it both demanding and spectacular. Interrupted during the war years and later revived, the event gained prestige in the 1950s and 1960s as part of the national hill climb championship calendar. It regularly attracted leading Italian drivers and manufacturers, including entries from Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, and Maserati, as well as prominent privateers. Though no longer held regularly today, the Sanremo–Poggio dei Fiori hill climb remains an iconic name in Italian motorsport history, remembered for its technical challenge, scenic route, and connection to the golden age of postwar racing.
