 Achille Varzi: life and enterprises of the great driver of Galliate
Achille Varzi is one of the greatest driver of all times and the greatest master of the driving-style in the history: perfect, elegant, fast, effective, without errors (in his long career has only two incidents caused by driving errors!)
Varzi is born as a motorcyclist, even if his objective is to become a great racing car driver, like he reveals in an interview years after.
Varzi exceeds the previewed limit and "tests" the track directly: Monza from that day, and for many years to come, is renamed the "varzodromo" (the varzi-drome).

 Parts and Places The Structures of Spatial Representation Roberto Casati and Achille Varzi, Cambridge, MA. - Book ...
Already in the choice of the title, Casati and Varzi make the first smart move: rather than resortingto the usual, but somehow cryptic, name of the field they are mainly dealing — that is Mereotopology— they use two much simpler synonyms — Parts and Places.
Casati and Varzi show how a theory that accountsfor counterparts and potential objects can be kept inside the bounds of first order logic (by includingpossible worlds in the domain of quantification), but a first order theory must be extended by meansof modal operators for the mereological essentialism.
The latter is likely to be carried away by Casati and Varzi’s way of explaining the matter, first posingquestions (that most often one would not have thought of) and then answering them.

Their starting point is an analysis of the interplay between mereology (the study of part/whole relations), topology (the study of spatial continuity and compactness), and the theory of spatial location proper.

One of the merits of that is that when you the reader disagree with a decision to publish a paper, you know who to blame.
Varzi’s trying to show that the combination of perdurantism (temporal parts everywhere) and universalism about fusions leads to odd semantic results.
There’s a response to this line of reasoning (or something like it), where Varzi says that it would be very complex to make every predicate ‘maximal’ in the way that we have to do on this view.

Even if it is that of a man born to be noticed and to astound, of a man destined, by nature and choice, to succeed.
Of Achille Varzi, the great driver and protagonist of motor-racing during the Thirties and Forties, very little remains: Old pages of sport newspapers full of rhetoric, inaccurate and faded memories of those who were close to him, and, even more, deteriorated fl and white photographs which show a face without explaining anything about the mystery.
These people are Ilse Hubach and Tazio Nuvolari who, from the beginning of this story of love and death, seem to hold Achille's hand not wanting to abandon him even after his tragic end on the track in Bern, on a rainy day in 1948.
