AT THE FORMULA 1 PIRELLI ITALIAN GRAND PRIX, LILT OFFERS THE PUBLIC SUNSCREEN DISPENSERS
Engines on: Formula 1 returns to the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, recently reopened following modernization work. From August 29 to September 1, the “Temple of Speed”, one of the oldest and most prestigious circuits in the world, will host the 95th edition of the Italian Grand Prix. New asphalt, a more performing track and new pedestrian paths are just some of the new features that await drivers and fans.
One of the most unexpected is certainly the presence of 10 sunscreen dispensers that LILT and the Autodromo have decided to place inside the circuit.
At the dispensers, which work autonomously thanks to a built-in solar panel, the public will be able to stock up on SPF 50 sunscreen, dispensed automatically and hygienically. The dispensers will be periodically refilled with product to allow anyone to make a “pit stop” for protection at any time. The sunscreen inside the dispensers is approved by a LILT dermatologist and protects against solar rays, which are a risk factor for the development of skin cancer and premature aging of the dermis.
“Today we are stepping on the accelerator together with the Autodromo Nazionale Monza to raise awareness among more and more people on the importance of preventing skin cancer, and in particular melanoma, the third most frequent tumor in the under 50s – comments Marco Alloisio , president of LILT Milano Monza Brianza – We thank the Autodromo for allowing us to amplify our message, prevention is living, during the days of the Formula 1 Grand Prix. Ten clearly visible dispensers full of useful information will invite fans to protect themselves during a time of significant and prolonged exposure to solar rays. This is our mission”.
“Being alongside LILT is a source of pride for us – said Giuseppe Redaelli , president of SIAS Autodromo Nazionale Monza – Making sunscreen available to fans is not only a very useful service, but also a means of spreading and understanding a message that must lead to greater awareness. The Autodromo Nazionale Monza, hosting hundreds of thousands of fans, must be a megaphone for initiatives such as the one promoted in collaboration with LILT, promoting behaviors that are increasingly attentive to safeguarding health”.
According to 2023 data from Aiom (Italian Association of Medical Oncology), exposure to UV rays is the most important environmental risk factor for skin cancer, also known as melanoma. This tumor occurs at a young age and in Italy it is the third most frequent in both sexes under the age of 50.
LILT and the Autodromo have chosen to install the dispensers because they are aware of the importance of safety, not only for the drivers and fans in the stands, but also for their skin. Even if the sun is hidden by clouds, it is necessary to apply the cream that should be spread on the body (including hands, feet, ears and scalp) every hour and a half or every two hours. Other useful tips for protection are reported on the dispensers together with the UV index, or the level of solar ultraviolet radiation, of the place where they are installed. T

FORMULA 1 PIRELLI ITALIAN GRAND PRIX 2024: QUEEN'S RING DELIVERY
On Saturday 31 August during the weekend of the Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio d'Italia 2024, the first edition of the Anello della Regina will take place at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, an award desired and sponsored by the Municipality of Monza and the Lombardy Region that interprets and represents some elements of the History, Culture and Tradition of Monza and Lombardy with an obvious reference to the Grand Prix of Italy.
The project was born from the objective consideration that the Drivers are the modern Knights and the Grand Prix is the modern Tournament where the Knights challenged each other and, like the Knights, the Drivers best represent the qualities of courage, loyalty, respect for the rules and are a reference model to be inspired by. The ring, during a short ceremony after qualifying, will be awarded to the Driver who sets the fastest lap, gaining Pole Position for the race. The Queen's Ring is the result of the creativity and mastery of Guido Guzzi, Goldsmith Artist from Monza who, inspired by the Iron Crown , has inserted elements that recall the checkered flag, one of the symbols of Motorsport, and the colours of the Italian flag with precious stones set on the ring.
The ring will be a unique piece made exclusively for this event and will be customised with the Driver's name and references to testify to the award. Monza, Lombardy and Italy are represented by the Italian Grand Prix which is held in the temple of speed, the oldest active racetrack in the world and in a unique territory for History, Culture, Traditions that deserve to be known and become a destination for an unforgettable journey of exploration.
The City of Monza, in its History, has all the elements to enhance this similarity starting from Queen Teodolinda , an iconic figure of the Lombard nobility who is recognized for her great intelligence and beauty combined with her extraordinary ability as a horsewoman that still today make her an example of a woman protagonist of her life and her era.
The Iron Crown that the ring is inspired by has a great historical and cultural value having crowned many Kings of Italy including Napoleon Bonaparte but even stronger is its religious value. The Iron Crown, in fact, according to legend, holds in its structure one of the nails with which Jesus was crucified. A graft that makes it a precious relic. This recognition will be over the years, a way to affirm the value of the Pilots and to make the immense Historical and Cultural heritage of Our Country known to the world, through one of the most popular sports.

Objective 50 thousand trees throughout the country
The project was born from an idea by Paolo Cantarella, president of the ACI Sport Historic Car Commission, which has seen the planting of 740 trees so far in 2024 on the occasion of seven historic car races and the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Imola and Monza. This initiative is part of the national project “ A tree for the future ”, launched in 2021 by the Carabinieri Forestali in collaboration with the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security, with the aim of creating a widespread forest, extending across the entire national territory through the planting of 50 thousand trees, all geolocalized, in a few years.

Sticchi Damiani: “Concrete sign of the restart of the works finished on time thanks to teamwork".
A few days after the conclusion of the works on the track of the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, the Automobile Club of Italy unveils the poster of the 2024 Formula 1 Pirelli Italian Grand Prix scheduled for September 1st.
“It is with great pride that we present the poster of the 95th Italian Grand Prix in Monza after a very demanding and also suffered year due to the works that were carried out at the National Autodrome, works made complicated by external factors such as adverse weather and other complications of a technical nature – is the comment of the president of ACI, Angelo Sticchi Damiani –. But we made it 4 days ahead of the deadline set by the International Federation, i.e. 60 days before the grand prix took place. The success is due to the commitment of Sias, the Bacchi company, the director of the works, Professor Maurizio Crispino, ACI Progei and the General Director of the Autodromo Alfredo Scala.
