«During the Lamborghini Finals – Erik Lanzoni, director of IF, expects – we will host another educational tour organized directly by Apt and aimed at operators of the MICE sector, interested in the spaces on the racetrack. Education and fairs are the place in which we find the most use, because they make the territory known and can give us a boost in quality ».
