After Belli e dannati, Luca Dal Monte returns with a second collection of stories dedicated to the personalities who made the 1970s a singular, unrepeatable era in the world of motor racing. Belli e dannati 2 offers twelve new stories continuing the narrative begun in the first volume.

Once again, the protagonists are the men and women who defined Formula One’s golden age: drivers, constructors, mechanics, journalists, wives and girlfriends — figures at the centre of a world that revolved around them, yet also, knowingly or not, victims of a reality to which they were fatally drawn despite the looming shadow of death.

As with the first volume, each story is introduced by an evocative black-and-white illustration, continuing the visual language established across the Belli e dannati series.

Together, the fourteen stories of Belli e dannati and the twelve collected here form the narrative prologue to the novel Le ragazze del muretto, introducing many of the people, themes and emotions that the novel explores in greater depth.
