The origins of our city are intimately linked to the Queen and her far-sighted vision of peace and dedication to our territory, just as the Iron Crown has been a symbol of importance and prestige for Monza for centuries.

Alessandra Zinno, General Manager of Autodromo Nazionale Monza, comments: “Monza is investing heavily in tourism with the ambition of becoming one of the major attractions not only in Lombardy but in our entire peninsula. An excellent demonstration of the potential was highlighted by the increase in the flow of visits after the recent Rai1 program conducted by Alberto Angela dedicated to the city. We could not fail to find a strategy that would allow the most prestigious attractions of Monza to be coordinated in a single shared project. I am sure that this strategy will provide an even more important impulse to tourism in Brianza and that the Autodromo Nazionale Monza will make a significant contribution to the successful outcome of the initiative, with the opportunities it already offers – including the newborn Monza Circuit Experience and its guided tours – and with further future projects. The Temple of Speed has always been affirmed, in its century-old history, as a universally known and appreciated pivotal point, and certainly ta the proposal will lead to a further benefit due to its attractiveness to both Italian and foreign visitors “.
