Piazza Del Campo

Polyphony Digital has attached the Gran Turismo name to one of the most prestigious events in all of classic motoring. The studio has organized a new official offshoot of the historic Mille Miglia, called the “1000 Miglia Gran Turismo Experience”, and series creator Kazunori Yamauchi is in Italy right now driving it himself.

Remember the outraged city of Siena, which was preparing legal action against Sony because the city’s Contrade flags appeared around GT5’s karting track, Piazza del Campo? There was some concern and confusion regarding what the eventual outcome would be, but the solution fortunately turned out to be quite simple: the offensive flags were removed and Siena’s cultural heritage “protected”…  As reported by Corriere Fiorentino:
