San Marino celebrates the 30th anniversary of the memory and legacy of Ayrton Senna and in memory of Roland Ratzenberger

The first preparations are beginning in these hours in the old town of San Marino for Senna 30 Years, the series of initiatives that the Ministry of Labor and Sport in synergy with the Senna Foundation, the Emilia-Romagna Region and the Municipality of Imola will stage from Saturday 27 April until 1 May in the Old Town of San Marino on the 30th anniversary of the memory and legacy of Ayrton Senna and those in memory of Roland Ratzenberger.

The celebrations are part of a global programme to tribute Ayrton's 30-year legacy and are part of the celebrations of the 40th anniversary of official relations between San Marino and Brazil.

The name of the Republic of San Marino is closely linked to the world of motors and to the sporting and human history of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger and to Imola where the San Marino Formula One Grand Prix has been held for 26 years and for this reason last Monday the initiative was presented by the Minister of Labour and Sport Teodoro Lonfernini together with the highest authorities of the Region and the Municipality and to the Brazilian pilot's niece, Bianca Senna.
