The Circuito delle Madonie was a road racing course made up of public roads, situated on the Italian island of Sicily, near the capital of Palermo, which hosted the famous Targa Florio event, between 1906 and 1977. The original public roads are still used today for the Targa Florio Rally successor event, which has been held since 1978. The course was made up of three different circuit length variations; the 72.00 km (44.74 mi) Piccolo short/small circuit,[4] the slightly larger 108.0 km (67.1 mi) Medio medium circuit,[5] and the full 148.821 km (92.473 mi) Grande circuit.[6]
