OVER 650 STUDENTS IN MONZA FOR “TOGETHER FOR ROAD SAFETY”
At the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, in parallel with the ACI Safe Driving Center in Vallelunga in Lainate, the “Together for Road Safety” day took place—an initiative promoted by the Automobile Club of Italy and the Ministry of Education and Merit, aimed at spreading training programs and raising awareness about road safety education.
The event involved more than 650 students and was structured through activities held in both Monza and Lainate, where the Minister of Education and Merit, Giuseppe Valditara, and the President of ACI, Geronimo La Russa, were present.
At the Monza circuit, the program dedicated to primary school pupils combined fun and educational moments: from karting in the square to the ACI format “Young Champions of Road Safety,” included in the educational offerings on the MIM’s Edustrada portal, as well as visits to the Carabinieri stand dedicated to biodiversity. Students in the final two years of primary school were also given the opportunity to try an immersive simulator and take part in a guided tour of the facility.
In the afternoon, attention shifted to secondary school students, who took part in a guided tour of the Autodromo Nazionale Monza. This particularly meaningful experience helped turn theoretical training into a direct perception of risk, strengthening awareness of the dangers associated with distracted or improper driving.
TRACK SAFETY: 42 OPERATORS TRAINED AT MONZA IN EXTRICATION COURSES
TRACK SAFETY: 42 OPERATORS TRAINED AT MONZA IN EXTRICATION COURSES
On Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 April, two extrication courses were held at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza under the auspices of Specialist Motorsport Academy.
The training activities were conducted by instructors Dr. Gianluca Greco, Dr. Paolo Mangili, and nurse Stefano Lodi, all affiliated with AREU (Regional Emergency and Urgency Agency).
A total of 42 participants were trained, including personnel from AREU, the Italian Red Cross, I-Help, and Padana Emergenza. Divided into working groups, participants practiced driver extrication techniques from single-seater cockpits and Gran Turismo cars, tackling realistic scenarios with a high level of operational complexity.
Specifically, during the course, both controlled and rapid extrication procedures were applied, using devices such as the BOA system and removable seats. This enabled participants to deal with emergency situations characterized by limited response times and critical conditions, improving their ability to respond and coordinate in high-risk environments.
“Specialist Motorsport Academy confirms its commitment to the specialized training of personnel involved in motorsport safety,” emphasized Raffaele Giammaria, Director of the ACI training school, “contributing to the continuous development of operational skills and the dissemination of best intervention practices.”

A FIVE-YEAR AGREEMENT HAS BEEN SIGNED BETWEEN THE AUTODROMO AND THE POLITECNICO DI MILANO
The Politecnico di Milano and the Autodromo Nazionale Monza – SIAS S.p.A. have signed a five-year framework agreement to develop joint activities in the fields of scientific research, education, and technological innovation applied to mobility and sports infrastructure.
The agreement aims to transform the Monza circuit into an open-air laboratory for testing new technological solutions, involving students, researchers, and faculty from the Politecnico in applied research projects and educational activities.
The collaboration – coordinated for the Politecnico by Professor Emilio Faroldi – will focus in particular on the study of materials and infrastructure for circuits and sports facilities, their architectural and environmental impact, the development of high-performance asphalt and safety systems, the testing of automotive technologies, and the creation of advanced simulation models for infrastructure design and management. Activities will also include studies on crowd management and safety at major events, as well as projects dedicated to environmental sustainability and the enhancement of the circuit’s historic structures.
“The Monza Autodrome represents a complex and highly valuable infrastructure, both from a historical and functional perspective, and provides an ideal context for developing applied research and experimentation activities. This collaboration will allow our University to work on materials, safety, and the management of sports infrastructure, bringing our design and research efforts into direct contact with real-world conditions characterized by high complexity, while reaffirming the strong identity of the site,” commented Emilio Faroldi, Vice Rector of the Politecnico di Milano.
“Since its origins, the Autodromo Nazionale Monza has been much more than a circuit: it is a training ground and a laboratory for innovation. Here, solutions were developed that later spread widely, from the use of full-face helmets to guardrails and electronic toll collection technologies. The collaboration with the Politecnico di Milano strengthens this vocation, projecting us toward new challenges in research and applied experimentation. We aim to continue being a reference point for technological development by linking education, innovation, and practical application. This agreement enhances our history and consolidates the pioneering role of the Autodrome in the field of infrastructure and major event management,” said the President of the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, Giuseppe Redaelli.
The agreement strengthens cooperation between academia and industry, promoting technology transfer and experimentation in a real-world context of international relevance such as the Monza circuit, one of the most iconic motorsport venues in the world and home of the Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix.
