Eulogy on imagination
It
was on
June
25th, 1993,
when our first vintage car tour started.
The
most authoritative journal of this sector titled
”L'emozione
del bello"
(The emotion of beauty) and described the tour as “original”.
For
sure, the best compliment for those, who at that time ‑ and that
deep in the south! ‑ had developed a philosophy and a mode of
traveling which now, after 15 years, is looked upon throughout
Europe with the ambition to imitate it.
Since
then, much fuel has run in the carburetors, techniques have
proceeded, new routes have been added, further programs, in
particular the internationalization of our journeys with guests from
Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Austria and Britain.
But
there is something that has never changed, something inside the
people ‑ those who were there in the very beginning and those who
joined over the years: the capacity to be astonished at beauty.
People who do their work with so much passion that they are able to
infect also the most disenchanted and worn out. And after hundreds
of successful tours and rejoicing guests, it is them who seem to be
the most enthusiastic “tourists”.
In
fact, we have always considered the rediscovery of observing and
listening to be the essence of all our initiatives.
In
the crazy Roman nights of "La dolce vita", Marcello Mastroianni
drives a glamorous Triumph. A journey with Meridianosedici, though,
may give even stronger and more real emotions, because the vintage
cars allow to link with the essence of the surrounding landscape.
And
this is how the fascinating Triumph Spiders let one experience the
most noble and beautiful side of tourism: a deep understanding of
the people and the places.
This
is our notion.
