Description

Sometimes, the stories write themselves.
Lamborghini, the legendary Italian sports-car builder, is doing some incredibly cool things to celebrate its 50th birthday.
Without question, the high-water mark of the birthday party was a 750-mile rally that saw some 350 Lamborghinis drive from Milan in northern Italy, to Sant’Agata Bolognese, the Italian town where construction began on the very first Lamborghini factory in May, 1963.
In between, the largest Lamborghini rally in history, known as the 50th Anniversary Grande Giro, visited Lombardia, Toscana, Roma, San Giustino Valdarno and Bologna, among other picturesque Italian points of interest.
