Falcucci’s masterful pastel work brings breathless velocity to this rare Monaco Grand Prix poster, where a red Alfa Romeo leads a blue Bugatti around a perilous Riviera-side curve. The racers burst from the tunnel, hugging the tight turn at the water’s edge as they charge toward the finish, framed by the sunlit slopes of Monaco and the grandeur of the Hotel de Paris. That year, Italy dominated the podium, with Tazio Nuvolari claiming victory in his Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza, followed by Caracciola in another Alfa 8C and Fagioli in a Maserati 8C.
