Raci GRAN PREMIO D'ITALIA PLACCA GARA AUT RACI badge 1933. Silver-coloured metal, small enamelled badge in the upper right-hand corner. This plate was issued by the RACI (Reale Automobile Club d'Italia) for the XI Italian Grand Prix held at Monza on 10 September 1933. The year 1933 remains infamous as the Black Sunday of Monza.

Three legendary drivers, Giuseppe Campari, Baconin Borzacchini and Stanisław Czaykowski, lost their lives in two separate accidents on the elevated south bend, probably due to an oil stain on the track.
