 CONCORSO ITALIANO Benvenuto! Concorso Italiano is a key part the traditional Monterey Automobile Week. Concorso Italiano’s unique format features more 800 vehicles of Italian origin, and its atmosphere is on the vehicles on display, conversations between people who love and appreciate them, and elements of Italian style such as fashion, food, music and art – all of this on the beautiful grounds of the Black Horse Golf Club.

Automobiles and motorcycles are judged for their historical accuracy, their technical merit and their style—and the best garner reward and recognition.
