Is the "race" a bicycle race ?

This is Mara Berni and Felice Zappulla taking part in the 1955 Rally del Cinema. The rally was held for 3 years from 1955 to 1957, but according to the caption this was the second running (!). The car is a Fiat 1900, but I cannot find any reference to the coachbuilder.

All right, locked for you to dig about the coachbuilder.

Not the one I have, but I have some doubt about my source; I will accept both the name I have and any other with prove.

I can't find any source, and I am guessing by the style. I will try once more, and then you can unlock - Allemano?

As I said before, I've got some doubt about my source, in particular after Iluvatar's answer, because the front of this car is really similar to Monviso 1100/103 tv. So I've decided to give a point to Iluvatar who discovered the name of the race.  If nobody will give me a proved and more affordable answer, I'll consider the quiz solved by  Iluvatar. I apologize with anyone who has been damaged. Unlocked.

I agree. The source of my information was the Publifoto site, and since this is not for car enthusiasts I guess the information they provide may not be too accurate.  They state in their caption that the car is a Fiat 1900 but it looks smaller than that, and the style is absolutely right for the 1100 Monviso.

As I told I'm convinced that Iluvatar replay is more affordable than my source, so I give him the point.
