The following leg - on Friday 12 June - then took the crews back north, as the convoy passed through Terni, Foligno and Assisi, where it paid tribute to the 800th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis, before reaching Gualdo Tadino and Gubbio. In the afternoon, the cars tackled the evocative Furlo Gorge and crossed the Republic of San Marino, bringing the day to a close in Rimini, where the public welcomed the Maserati A6 GCS/53 with great enthusiasm. Belonging to a private collector and with Certification of Authenticity by Maserati Classiche, this fascinating example took part in five consecutive editions of the 1000 Miglia, from 1953 to 1957. Numerous highly talented drivers took turns behind the wheel of this car, including Luigi Musso. It was precisely at the 1000 Miglia that the A6 GCS/53 achieved its first major result, when Emilio Giletti crossed the finish line in sixth place overall and first in the 2-litre Sport class.
