This was the race, incidentally, where Nuvolari took along a young riding mechanic and warned him that he would shout if he took a bend too fast, in which case the youth was to duck behind the cowling to prepare for the forthcoming crash. When the race was over (during which Nuvolari set a record that stood for twenty years) the boy, named Paride Mambelli, was asked how the ride with the master went. He shrugged and said, ‘Nuvolari started shouting at the first curve and never stopped until the end. I spent the entire race under cover and never saw a thing!’
