Next Friday, the exhibition the twists and turns of the "Volta”, can be seen at 12:00 hrs, at the Museum of Photography of Madeira – Atelier Vicente’s.
Part of the Rali Vinho da Madeira program, this exhibition tells the story of the  twists and turns of the "Volta” around the Island by car, which was accomplished on the 16th June 1959, as well as the motorsports competitions that preceded it: The Stage in Barreiros, organized by the Motorsports Club of Portugal, in 1935, the Gymkhana of the Club Sports Madeira in 1936, the 1st and 2nd Rallye Automobile of Madeira, in 1948 and 1949, respectively, organized by the Rotary Club of Funchal.
There are 64 photographs, all of them from the Perestrelo Photography House, as well as some objects, generously given, to this exhibition, by private collectors and the Club Sports Madeira, that recall memories – the participants, the drivers, the winners, the vehicles, but also the commitment that, historically, built this competition, namely the city’s gatherings, the fund rising to fight against the tuberculosis and the Touristic Dissemination of Madeira.
Hand in hand, in this exhibition, the culture and tourism, sports and elegance add another glance on the event, that is the passion of the Madeiran and visitors. It’s another contribution in the sense of construction of identity of a region that preserves its memoryies and is proud of its history”.
