Intelligent and refined, Franca Florio promoted the work of her husband Ignazio, the founder of the famous Targa Florio in which the French woman M.me Le Blon had already competed alongside her husband, by 1906. Foollowing the changing image of women during the course of the War, came the first Italian woman to compete in the race: Maria Antonietta Avanzo, a pioneer of women’s motor racing.
