“Casa Marco Simoncelli” opens its doors

The house, intended for people with disabilities, was inaugurated on Sunday 20th January in memory of the former 250cc World Champion

On what would have been Marco Simoncelli’s 32nd birthday, the foundation that bears his name cut the ribbon and opened the doors to “Casa Marco Simoncelli”, an ambitious project that began five years ago.
