This issue focuses on the Olympics.
It begins with an entertaining review comparing Xavier Gosè's "Les Sportsmen" and the sports seen by Grimandi as illustrated for the Bracco 3. This is followed by a chronicle of the first Olympics published in the weekly magazine "L'Illustrazione Italiana!".
Angelo Rovelli takes the time to give the reader an overview of the Mexico City Olympics, while numismatists will find two coins of undeniable interest, tied to two important events in Milanese life: the inauguration of the Milan Metro (November 1, 1964) and the inauguration of the Adda Express (May 5, 1968).
Finally, historical anecdotes and comparative proverbs.
