Elica d'Oro Ezio Selva
The "Ezio Selva Golden Propeller" (Elica d’Oro Ezio Selva) was established in 1958 by the Selva family in memory of their relative—a world-class powerboat racer who tragically lost his life during the second heat of the "Orange Bowl Regatta" in Miami Beach. The trophy was offered by the E. Selva Powerboat Association and included in the program of the annual powerboat event held in Sesto Calende. It was reserved for "LZ 2500 cc" inboard racing boats—a category designated as "R4" from 1970 onwards. The rules stipulated a single-race format, with the trophy awarded to any driver who secured two victories (not necessarily consecutive). The E.S. Golden Propeller was held continuously from 1958 to 1965, and subsequently resumed from 1968 to 1971. In the first iteration of the competition, the trophy was awarded to Cesare Maderna, following his victories in 1960 and 1961; in the second, it went to Fortunato Libanori, thanks to his wins in 1968 and 1969.
