From the Linate Military Airport, the historic vehicles, after the technical checks, started on the 60 km route to Cassano d'Adda. They crossed the fertile Lombard countryside full of water, which interested Leonardo as a hydraulic engineer and whose misty atmosphere is found in the backgrounds of his paintings. He, in the service of the Sforza, took care of the Lombardi canals (1496) planning fundamental hydraulic inventions. In the morning the participants stopped at Villa Maggi Poggi, an eclectic nineteenth-century building with a magnificent garden for a buffet lunch. The day's return to Milan ended with the presentation of the cars to the public in the Armi of the Sforzesco Castle Square, followed by a concert by the Italian Military Air Force Fanfare. There was the possibility of visiting the halls of the Castle, including the recently restored Asse room, which in 1498 Leonardo transformed illusionistically into an outdoor environment, painting a dense weaving of branches and leaves on the vault, to which they tie golden cords. In the center stands the coat of arms of Ludovico il Moro and his wife Beatrice d'Este.
In the evening, the gala dinner on the arcade of the Rocchetta courtyard and the assignment of the 13th Milan Trophy, which consists of the final bow of a true spire of the Milan cathedral, which passes from year to year to the winner. This year it was delivered to Giovanni and Riccardo Bertoni, father and son, thanks to a lower total penalty than that of the other 93 competitors, stood out at the wheel of their gritty Alpine Renault A110 1600 S from 1970. In addition to the characteristic trophy, delivered by the newly elected president of the ASI Alberto Scuro, the winners received an extremely elegant Aviator 8 Automatic Day & Date 41 watch offered by BREITLING, the stainless main sponsor of the event. The renowned Swiss watchmaker also awarded the "Bentley" and "Norton" awards to the homonymous car and motorcycle categories. Those attending the 2019 event appreciated the excellent success of the event, thanks to the careful planning and organization by the President C.M.A.E., Arch. Marco Galassi, very brilliant in presenting this beautiful competition.

We feel comforted by the commitment of the President of ASI Aberto Scuro and of the Vice President Antonio Verzera in promoting these events, of which we recognize the difficulties, and above all in wanting to involve young people in the gratifying adventure of collecting historic cars, a passion that can last a lifetime. Also, OldCar24 wanted to reward a particular car: the ALFA ROMEO GIULIA TI, a 1965 sedan in light blue with still original interiors, driven by Fausto Capelli. Heir to the legendary Giulietta, it was one of the most sold cars in the history of Alfa Romeo (about a million copies). It was the first car to have a license plate also made up of letters. In the field of collectibles this elegant car that, for now, does not cost a fortune like many others of the same era, can be a starting point for those young people who are interested in the beautiful motor creations of the past. Especially since today vintage is in fashion and a sign of distinction and culture. The OldCar24 award is an original creation of an artist who interpreted the legendary Alfa Romeo 159, derived from the 158, the progenitors of all modern singleseaters. Winner of two world championships, with Nino Farina and with Manuel Fangio (1950-1951). Alfa "is a way of life, a very special way of conceiving a motor vehicle", as Orazio Satta Puliga wrote, the automotive engineer and designer of this jewel of Formula 1. For the first time the Milan Trophy also hosted a beautiful charity event organized in collaboration with UNICEF, which for the whole day gathered lots of children for a Mini GP on pedal cars in Castle Square.
