The Carrera Autopodistica is an annual human-powered land vehicle racing competition that takes place in September in Castel San Pietro Terme near Bologna, Italy. The vehicles involved are unique, soapbox-like cars driven by a pilot and propelled by "spingitori", or pushing men. Every year this competition attracts not only local people but also foreigners, and recently the peculiarity of the race has caught the attention of national television networks -private and public-, increasing the visibility of Castel San Pietro Terme.^[1]
