the heroic life of the gimax pilot

How do we start our 2023? With a very special event to open the coming year in the best possible way!

In fact, on the second anniversary of the Lainatese driver's passing, the Fratelli Cozzi Museum will host a unique event to celebrate the incredible life lived on the racetracks by driver Carlo Franchi aka "Gimax" (1/1/1938-13/1/2021).

The appointment is for Sunday, January 15, 2023, when it will be possible to participate in a day dedicated to racing, a meeting capable of offering emotions of other times.

On the same afternoon, it will be possible to both visit the Museum (with a guided tour) and attend the presentation of the book "Life and Deeds of the Unstoppable Gimax."

An unmissable opportunity to reopen our Museum to the public and to talk with some legendary figures from the world of racing.

Do you know any Alfisti? Then why not give them the event for Christmas?
