High-quality metal model of the Airbus A319 ITA Airways civil aircraft in the "Pietro Mennea" version. The model is detailed and precisely processed according to the real machine.
With this A319, the largest Italian airline continues the tradition of naming its planes after famous sports personalities. Pietro Mennea was born in Barlette, Apulia, and was nicknamed "La Freccia del Sud" ("The Arrow of the South"). As a sprinter, Mennea set the world record for 200 meters in 1979 and held it for at least 17 years. It is still the European record for this distance.
