A full presentation of the Centenary Celebrations and of the book "The Race of the Century"

20th October 2007, Carpi

In his research and writing, sports historian and journalist, Augusto Frasca, turns the life of Dorando Pietri into a race in itself. Arace towards London, the appointment with fate at the Olympic Games on 24th July 1908, and from London on to the world and a life transformed by the race. Running in parallel to the life of the athlete, runs the soul of that race, which remains the most famous in the history of the Olympic Games. The race crosses the century to reach us 100 years later, carrying that symbolic meaning that goes beyond the boundaries of sport. Carpi’s Municipal Theatre will host the official launch of the 336-page work with 150 illustrations, published by Editore Aliberti. The occasion will also be marked by the issue of a series of special stamps and postmarks and a set of illustrated postcards will be printed.

The volume, 336 pages and 180 pictures, edited by Aliberti and distributed in the bookshops by RCS Libri, costs Euro 40,00 and it can also be purchased online: info@dorandopietri.org or info@italianmarathon.it adding Euro 9,00 for postage.
