We came across the figure of Marama during earlier historical research on motorcycling in our area. This book began from his story. We found his name appearing often in the news and on start lists of Dirt Track races held on Trieste’s course in the 1930s.
Sea, Earth and Sky merge and interpenetrate, salty and fresh waters merge. History has left solid traces, but myth and legend have fluid emotions.
