Water is a primary and fundamental good and being able to provide it free of charge to the thousands of fans who attend the Autodromo Nazionale Monza is a source of great pride for us. During the GP weekend, spectators will be able to fill their half-litre water bottles and Grand Prix celebratory cups which will be available for purchase at the circuit. We believe the path undertaken together with an important partner like BrianzAcque can lead to achieving important results both in reducing the use of plastic and in understanding the importance of public water"
For Enrico Boerci , President and CEO BrianzAcque: “With Autodromo we share a strong vocation for sustainability and a great commitment to the environment which, during the Italian Grand Prix, translates into the opportunity for aficionados from all over the world to drink and enjoy the excellent water public of Brianza, an excellence of the territory. A green choice aimed at enhancing the increasingly precious water resource and respecting the context of the Park in which the Monza circuit is located".
The Mayor of Monza, Paolo Pilotto, underlined: “ 'The agreement between Autodromo and Brianzacque is a choice characterized by attention and environmental sensitivity – adds the Mayor Paolo Pilotto – Thus the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza becomes a testimonial of the value of public water for motoring enthusiasts from all over the world.

Silverio Clerici , President of ATO Monza and Brianza stated: “Today the message is confirmed, or rather strengthened, that when two bodies, public and private, agree intelligently they are not only able to offer useful services for the community but, even more importantly, they activate interesting initiatives in the field of true environmental sustainability . Examples to imitate!".
BrianzAcque - sole manager of the integrated water service in Monza and Brianza, which this year celebrates its first twenty years - and the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, in addition to the water house present in front of the statue of the driver Juan Manuel Fangio and the self-service column of the offices, will temporarily reposition tap benches and self-service dispensers in correspondence with the FanZone, the Curva Parabolica and the Central Grandstand.

All external stations, capable of dispensing quantities of H2O equal to 200 liters per hour, will be manned by dedicated staff. In this way the aim is to guarantee correct and orderly flows for the supply of the drink, available in still and carbonated versions, at room temperature and refrigerated. The "bulk" and "free" water that can be tapped from the 10 stations present in the Autodrome is the same that comes out of the tap through the aqueduct network, treated with additional refinement and filtering mechanisms that make it more pleasant on the palate without altering its characteristics. precious initial chemical-physical characteristics. The service will be active continuously during all three days of the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix scheduled for next September 1st to 3rd.
A new well field for the area

In fact, collaboration is envisaged between Autodromo and BrianzAcque to identify an area with adequate characteristics to be used for the creation of a new well field, subject to agreement with the Villa Reale and Monza Park Consortium. The collection systems will function both at the service of the Park's water networks and for that of the municipalities of Monza, Biassono and Villasanta so as to guarantee greater availability of drinking water to the area. As part of the paths followed for the construction of the well field, BrianzAcque will also deal with the design of a network of sewerage underground services for use on the circuit.
Leclerc and the iconic elements of the "Temple of Speed" in the image of the 94th Italian Grand Prix
Monza flies towards the future: this is the concept expressed by the poster - unveiled today - which will accompany the communication campaign of the 94th Pirelli Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix , scheduled at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza from 1 to 3 September next.
The Monza track stands out in the panorama of the Formula 1 World Championship for its record speed averages, deserving the nickname of "Temple of Speed". The 2023 GP will be yet another chapter in a hundred-year history, a good part of which is characterized by the constant presence in the Formula 1 calendar, from 1950 to today, with the sole exception of 1980.
Created by ACI, the poster - in addition to always being a cult object for collectors - traditionally constitutes a milestone in the communication campaign in view of the GP in September.
The graphic elements represent the perfect synthesis between the glorious past, the exciting present and the exciting future of the circuit; a future made even brighter by the relevance and quality of the modernization works, which will ensure that F.1 will be at home in Monza for many more World Championships.
Some iconic structures of the Autodromo Nazionale stand out, such as the podium - which, since 2002, has stretched out over the track like an open hand to bring the winners closer to the crowd that invades the circuit (a tradition born in Monza) - and the detection tower: symbol of research and innovation, two fundamental elements that have always been part of the track's DNA. The two towers, positioned on the main straight, were in fact built in 1955, together with the high-speed ring, with the function of informing the public of the progress of the races through a futuristic – for the times – luminous billboard. Then from 1997 they were transformed into sought-after hospitality.
The poster also shows the pit building, one of the plant's most modern buildings: a highly flexible structure, much appreciated by the most demanding enthusiasts, destined for further evolution in the coming years.
What catches the eye, however, is Ferrari number 16, that of Charles Leclerc: the Monegasque driver has already had the opportunity to taste what it means to win the Prancing Horse's home Grand Prix. His car in the foreground is a red siren that captivates fans, pushing them towards the track. At his side, on the right, the livery of a Red Bull that has so far dominated the World Championship, with Max Verstappen on his way to conquering his third world title. On the left, the Aston Martin - the real surprise of the year - thanks to which, at 41, Fernando Alonso is experiencing a second youth. The cars appear launched on the main straight, giving the idea of the speed which is extremely high in Monza: the unofficial record belongs to Juan Pablo Montoya who, in 2002, at the wheel of a BMW-powered Williams, reached 372.4 km/h.
