The thunder of approaching hooves, the roar of the crowd, the striking sight of a track framed by mountains. “Una Gita Fuoriporta” takes you to Merano, at the heart of the eighty-seventh edition of the Gran Premio dell'Alto Adige, to experience up close one of the most eagerly awaited dates on the Italian galloping and elegance calendar.
Don't miss the new episode Thursday at 9.00pm and Friday at 8.30pm.
The crew of the original TV series followed the two days of the event at the Maia racecourse up close, capturing what makes this occasion so special: the tension building before the start, the adrenaline of the final sprint, the looks on the faces of those who live galloping as a true passion. But also the more authentic side of the event, made up of families, enthusiasts, the curious, and a warmth of welcome that speaks to the spirit of South Tyrol.
A journey that is not just about sport, but also about discovering a territory, its people, and a tradition that continues to stir emotion in Merano.
Guiding viewers into the event is David Romano, who with his traveller's eye meets the protagonists of this great occasion:
- Clara Martone, President of Merano Galoppo
- Gianni Martone, Vice President of Merano Galoppo
- Remo Chiodi, General Director for Horse Racing
- Ancilla Patrizia Orio, Director of Merano Galoppo
- Patrizio Giacomo La Pietra, Undersecretary at MASAF
- Marco Galateo, Vice President of the Province of Bolzano
Different voices, one shared passion. From the leadership of the racecourse to national and local institutions, the interviews reveal the work that goes on behind the scenes, the commitment to promoting horse racing, and the deep bond between Merano and its galloping tradition, which draws visitors and enthusiasts from across Italy every year.
