- Overview
- Ralph De Palma - the fastest man in the world, tells the story of one of the greatest race car drivers of all time. We will follow the long journey of his life, from his childhood in a small village of Apulia, until the transfer to the United States; the transition from a peasant civilization of the early 1900s to that of a great metropolis projected into the future. The dreams of a poor child who leaves his mother and his land to seek fortune overseas, will come true on the circuits where his car will force every opponent to eat his dust.
