The City of Parma, Italy, honored one of its famous sons on April 21, when it dedicated the day to Gino Munaron, Ferrari works driver of the ’50s and ’60s and well-known road racer, endurance driver and Formula One competitor.
Heart of the celebrations was an exhibition of some of the cars that figured in Munaron’s career, which were displayed for the day in the city center’s Piazza Duomo. They included the Ferrari 750 Monza in which he won the 1955 12-Hours of Jèrez, the Ferrari 250 TR that he drove to victory in the Circuit of Rhodes, and the Ferrari 500 Testa Rossa with which he won the 2000 cc Sports class of the 1957 Mille Miglia and came eighth overall.
