On the wings of the wind. An element of the natur e that didn't miss dur ing the last summer. An element it gives a sense of liber ty. After months of lockdown, who hasn't felt a need of fr eedom and fr esh air, going back to their own passions and feeling alive? Man is despite all - a sur pr ising cr eatur e. He says "yes" to life in so many differ ent ways, he's in sear ch for something that gives a sense to his existence. Or at least something that leaves the mar k. The celebration of a centenary is an emblematic testimony. It is par t of our natur e leaving something it can talk about you for year s to come: whether it is two or four wheels race, or a wing competition.
