THE BOOK Beppe Gualini: An Out-of-Track Life.

Beppe Gualini, from Bergamo, a physical education teacher with a restless soul, soon abandoned his job to devote himself to African rallies, then unknown. A trailblazer, with his participation in the first edition of the Pharaohs Rally in Egypt in 1982, considered a fool at its start, he returned with a class victory, the first by an Italian driver in African rallies, a specialty destined in a few years to become the most media event worldwide with the legendary Paris-Dakar.

The book "Fuoritraccia" is only a small part of Beppe Gualini's lived experience, with unpublished images from his precious photographic archive, thus becoming a historical document.

Indispensable and valuable is the contribution of Gigi Soldano, a world-renowned professional photographer, who started the business with him, sharing unforgettable adventures that he immortalized.

Beppe Gualini represents what all motorcyclists would like to be, a private rider without significant economic resources who manages himself in maximum autonomy but achieves exciting results, becoming a reference for all motorsport enthusiasts. But his experience also expanded to four-wheelers, winning the selections of the legendary Camel Trophy and representing Italy in the 1985 expedition to Borneo. From here begins another important phase of his brilliant career by becoming responsible for national, international selections and later included in a selected team of "scouts" for the construction of the Camel Trophy, experiencing a thousand adventures in the wildest places on the planet.

After Destination Adventure, Africa Calls and Incas Rally, Fuoritraccia is his fourth publishing effort.

Bilingual: Italian/English. pp. 320 . hardcover and dust jacket.
