Each Sunday as night falls, the passion for Marco Simoncelli will burn again in Coriano, the town where the late MotoGP star lived with his family.?? A three-metre flame will erupt for 58 seconds (the time relating to the late rider’s racing number) from the installation “Every Sunday” by artist Arcangelo Sassolino. The artwork was the idea of Lino Dainese and Marco’s family, who felt there was nothing better than fire to represent Simoncelli’s soul and enthusiasm, the things that made people love him.
‘Every Sunday’ is intended to offer the same emotion he gave to his fans on the track and was unveiled on 12 September in the presence of family, authorities, riders and friends.
Simoncelli died after an accident during the 2011 Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang on 23 October, 2011.
