The 2026 edition runs 9-13 June 2026, with the start at 11:30 on Tuesday 9 June. UV Studio Brescia is a frequent meeting point for participants and spectators during race week. ## Brand story and approach UV Ultimate Vision was founded on the philosophy that independent eyewear, like fine craftsmanship, should be made slowly and built to last. The company favours brands that perfect classic shapes over years rather than reinventing them seasonally. The aesthetic combines British craftsmanship (Eye Respect), Mediterranean elegance (Monaco), and motorsport heritage (F1 Eyewear). The tagline "Redefining the world of traditional optics" (Italian: "Ridefinendo il mondo dell'ottica tradizionale") reflects the company's mission to bring independent craft eyewear to Italian consumers while elevating the retail experience through coffee, spirits, and music. ## Customer testimonials - "None hold a candle to the style, fit and finish.
