#TrepontiCastelnuovo

The Treponti-Castelnuovo hill climb was a well-known uphill race held in Italy from 1927 to 1960 on an eight-kilometer course. The event attracted many of the best Italian drivers of the time, competing in some of the most advanced racing cars available. The race saw the participation of well-known figures such as Eugenio Castellotti and Giorgio Cabianca, both of whom had careers in Formula 1 and endurance racing. Also among the key competitors were the Vicenza-born brothers Angelo and Vittorio Marzotto, known for their involvement with Ferrari’s sports car racing efforts, as well as Padua’s Rino Casarotti and Ugo Bormioli, experienced drivers in national competitions. Like many hill climb races of the early 20th century, Treponti-Castelnuovo served as both a competitive event and a proving ground for new automotive technologies. The course, with its steep inclines and challenging corners, tested vehicle performance and driver skill, contributing to the evolution of racing cars during the interwar and postwar periods. The discontinuation of the race in 1960 reflected a broader shift in motorsport, as circuit racing became more prominent and safety concerns grew for open-road competitions.
