Description | Street circuit used in 1931 and 1932 for Circuito automobilistico del Lago di Bolsena (Lake of Bolsena car circuit). It was a mixed race, with a regularity and a speed section. First one (from Montefiascone to Bolsena) was on roads open to normal traffic, while uphill from Bolsena to Montefiascone was a speed race on closed roads. Final result was based on both results. | |||||||||||||||

Also start/finish position is approximated |
