"This year's historic commemoration of the Coppa Milano-Sanremo," said Geronimo La Russa, Automobile Club Milan vice president. "has a very special meaning. Together with the MAC Group and the main Institutions of Milan and Lombardy, we have decided for the event to be part of the official tributes to the 150th anniversary of the Unity of Italy."
