I need a favor. As I might have mentioned I’m the proud owner of a Maserati Spyder. Mirabile dictu, there’s a whole slew of us here in E. TN – drawn, I suppose, by the mountain roads. That yellow flash you see on the Dragon’s Tail is all you’ll see of me. Anyhow, to get back on subject – us Maserati drivers belong to the SE group of the world wide Maserati Club. Our local group is heading to N. Italy to see, among other things, the Maserati factory. While close I thought I go to Brescia and visit a gun maker and a shop or two. So, if you would, please ask your readers where would they go. Any places not to miss or others not worth the time. According to Google Maps Brescia and environs is full of them.
I think this place is definitely worth a look.
Damn funkiest looking revolver I’ve seen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I told him sure, if I could take the Maserati for a spin.

I hear Maseratis can get up to 185 mph.

Paso del Stilvio is a pretty awesome run – best on a bike but a car would suffice.
And the run on SS242 from Ortesi (St. Ulrich in Groden) down through Sta. Christina/Selva in Val Gardena to the SS243 and up to Passo Gardena is pretty freaking awesome.
Basicallly you go from Bolzen/Bolzano up to Brixen and get off the A22/E45 (local) onto SS242 at Ponte Gardena (/Waldbruck) and head east towards Corvara.
Switch to the 243 in Plan de Gralba and zoot over the Passo De Gardena to Corvara. Take the SS244 down to Arraba and then SR48 to Canazei. Anything (riding or driving) up there is insanely great.

“I hear Maseratis can get up to 185 mph.”
Got one up there once. But I lost my license, now I don’t drive.
