It must have been difficult for the organisers of the Piazza Italia event to conjure up a way to top last year’s bonanza. The council flirted with the idea of a Roman war re-enactment, but that would presumably have been too bloody. Perhaps they considered booking an Italian celebrity, but realised there aren’t any. But in the end they’ve come up with a real crowd-pleaser this year’s festival will include the first ever Pizza Express Italian Job mini Run. Pizza Express and Vines (Gatwick) Mini are joining forces to organise the run, which will see a cavalcade of 50 minis meeting at the garage near Three Bridges station just after 11:30am on Saturday 3rd April. The cars will then set off for Pizza Express in East Street where they will be on display to the public. Jenna Maynard, manager of Pizza Express in Horsham, said: “We will be working with MINI To raise funds for Chestnut Tree House and have decided to hold a competition in Piries Place

where two special cars will be on display. “All visitors will be able to guess how many Pizza boxes can fit in a Clubman for £1 per guess, with all proceeds going to the charity. “On the Saturday we will also encourage people to visit County Hall North in Chart Way, Horsham where we will be supplying prizes for competitors who win a race in a Mini Scalextric competition”. This year, the festival is hoping to beat its 2009 record of attracting nearly 60 privately owned Ferraris to the Carfax on Good Friday, along with Ducati led Italian motorcycles. The De Tomaso led Italian Supercars (which were in The Forum in 2009) will also park in the Carfax on Easter Monday. Piazza Italia takes place on Good Friday, Saturday and Easter Monday, 2nd 3rd and 5th April.
