Round 7 - Monza

The first Italian Grand Prix was held on 4 September 1921 in Montichiari, in the province of Brescia, on a circuit using ordinary roads. The following year, the Autodromo Nazionale Monza was built and has been used continuously since then, except for four editions (1937, 1947, 1948 and 1980).

In 1928, a serious accident occurred during the race: driver Emilio Materassi lost control of his car at a speed of around 300 km/h and flew into the spectators, killing 30 people. As a result of this accident, the Italian Grand Prix was not held for the next two years. In 1937, the race was held at the Circuito di Montenero in Livorno, only to return to Monza the following year as the last Italian Grand Prix before World War II. After the war, the Italian Grand Prix was not held until 1947: the Monza circuit had not yet been completely renovated, so the race was held in Milan that year and in 1948 at the Valentino Park circuit in Turin. From 1949, the Italian Grand Prix returned to the Monza circuit. In 1980, due to safety work on the circuit, the Italian Grand Prix was held at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola. The following year, Formula One cars returned to Monza, and Monza has been part of the calendar to this day.
