Luigi Stagnoli, (90) Ferrari 225 S Spider Vignale, chassis number 0176ED, and 225 S Berlinetta vignale, chassis number 0152EL, (fastest lap). Monaco Grand Prix 1952, transformed into a race for sports cars. This was a two day event, the Sunday for the up to 2 litres (Prix de Monte Carlo), the Monday for the bigger engines, (Monaco Grand Prix).

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.
