Photographer’s insight:
Mugello is universally recognized under the slogan “No sleep in Mugello!” and I liked the idea of expressing this feature through an emblematic photo. The stands crowded with people are a prerogative of this circuit, but the public with the campers on the track is definitely a more unusual image. I could take this picture helped by the sun and the high temperature: the heat effect makes a not perfectly defined background, leaving the bike engraved.
