Emilia when he had a 27-minutes lead. His last appearance in competition was at the Palermo-Montepellegrino hillclimb on 10 April 1950, driving a Squadra Carlo Abarth Cisitalia-Abarth 204. He won his class and finished fifth overall. Death and legacy Nuvolari never formally announced his retirement, but his health deteriorated and he became increasingly solitary. In 1952 a stroke left him partially paralysed, and he died in bed a year later from a second one. Between 25,000 and 55,000 people, at least half the population of Mantua, attended his funeral in a mile-long procession, with the coffin placed on a car chassis that was pushed by Alberto Ascari, Luigi Villoresi, and Juan Manuel Fangio. He is buried in the family tomb in the Cimitero Degli Angeli, on the road from Mantua to Cremona. The inscription over the door reads: "Correrai Ancor Più Veloce Per Le Vie Del Cielo" (You will race even faster along the roads of heaven). The Museum Tazio Nuvolari is located in his homestead at Giulia Romano via N. Sauro in Mantua. In Castel d'Ario there is a bronze statue of Nuvolari on a marble plinth inscribed "Nivola – Campione Automobilistico di Tutti Tempi" (Nivola – Champion Driver of All Time); and at the end of Mantua's Via delle Rimembranze, the street where he lived towards the end of his life, is a square that is now called Piazza Nuvolari. The Cisitalia 202 SMM Nuvolari Spider, EAM Nuvolari S1, and Audi Nuvolari Quattro are named after him, and Maserati offers the colour Grigio-Nuvolari from their custom palette. Nuvolari was an early exponent (if not the inventor, according to Enzo Ferrari) of the four-wheel drift cornering technique which was later utilised by drivers such as Stirling Moss. An Italian pay-TV channel featuring motor sports is also named "Nuvolari". The online video interview platform Tazio is named after him. In the 1961 The Twilight Zone episode, "A Game of Pool", Tazio Nuvolari is referenced by Jonathan Winters (Fats Brown) when talking to Jack Klugman (Jessie Cardiff) about great men in history. Nuvolari was mentioned in 1969 comedy film Monte Carlo or Bust! when Angelo Pincilli and Marcelo Agosti, two Italian policemen taking part in the Monte Carlo Rally, hope to become as famous as Nuvolari and land speed record holder Malcolm Campbell by winning the race. The 1976 album Automobili by Italian singer-songwriter Lucio Dalla, included the song "Nuvolari", with
