My wife and I are currently in Rome on the first leg of our Italian honeymoon. After a great meal and a terrific Brunello di Montalcino last night, we stumbled upon a vintage car rally that was taking place through the streets of Rome. Low and behold, about 5 gullwings were in the rally. Here's a video of a silver/red Gullwing I took, and yes, that's me you hear giving them the hi-five in the background. Prego prego!

Thanks for the great pictures. The Mille Miglia must have been following us to Firenze, our next leg of the trip. After we checked in to our hotel in Florence last Saturday, we came across the race again, this time a different set of cars, including the green, dark red and silver Gullwings in your pictures. I'm in heaven. The wife isn't too happy though. Too many distractions...
