It was a sun-drenched Sunday for the Brembo Italian Grand Prix 2026, with MotoGP taking center stage at the Mugello Circuit. Among the high-profile guests in attendance was the President of the Tuscany Region, Eugenio Giani, who emphasized the massive impact of the event. "Hosting an event of this caliber in our territory is fundamental," the Governor stated. "Motorsports are experiencing ever-growing attraction today, becoming highly popular and deeply engaging sports." Giani went on to praise the management of the racetrack, offering a strong vote of confidence to its leadership: "Having an exceptional manager like Paolo Poli in Scarperia—whose trust Ferrari has consistently renewed across various 'dynasties'—is a unique asset that we must hold onto tightly." The President confirmed the Region's full support for Mugello as negotiations continue for a five-year contract renewal with MotoGP. "The Region must do its part to ensure we remain a permanent fixture on this global stage," Giani added, acknowledging the benchmarks set by neighboring regions. "We don't want to fall behind Emilia-Romagna and what they have achieved for Misano or Imola. Competition to host these events is fiercer than ever. We must leverage Mugello's established reputation as one of the safest and most beautiful tracks in the world, but we also need to deliver more in terms of logistical infrastructure." To future-proof the venue, the Governor outlined key areas for improvement: Expanded parking facilities, upgraded road networks, enhanced logistical support to secure long-term operations for this highly significant circuit. The Mugello Circuit continues to prove itself as a powerful economic and promotional driver for the entire Tuscany region. "With fans and journalists arriving from all over the globe, the media value reflecting Tuscany's image through this racetrack is extraordinary," President Giani concluded. "It is clear that we must improve conditions to make the hospitality experience even better. Because of this, we will increase our contributions toward both external and internal infrastructure to ensure smoother traffic flow and overall accessibility."
