On the starting grid for the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, Luigi Stagnoli sits in his Ferrari 225 S Spider Vignale, holding a large umbrella against the bright sun. That year, the legendary race was transformed into an event for sports cars. The asphalt circuit is lined with hay bales, with spectators in mid-century attire watching from a wooden grandstand and the balconies of European-style buildings. In the background, an ornate official's stand is visible, as are the strong, clear shadows cast by the sun.
