The 40th Anniversary
of Concorso Italiano was nothing short of spectacular—a true celebration of
Italian automotive passion, heritage, and community. From the moment of entry,
guests were welcomed with an atmosphere of elegance and enthusiasm. The organization
was seamless, the grounds beautifully laid out, and the energy unforgettable.. People came dressed comfortably, ready
to spend the day with their families, their friends, and their cars.
The Cars & Restorers
The show field stretched endlessly with rows of Alfa
Romeos, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Fiats, and more—each one telling a story. What
made the day so special were the owners and restorers standing proudly beside
their cars. Many had spent years bringing their vehicles back to life, and when
awards were handed out for the best restorations, you could see the pride in
their eyes. It wasn’t just about shiny paint or polished chrome—it was about
preserving history with heart and skill. It was not just a
show, but a living bridge between eras, where past craftsmanship met modern
ingenuity. For Alfistas especially, the event felt like home: a reunion of
spirit, where the act of restoration was celebrated as an inheritance of
passion.
Community & Atmosphere
Concorso Italiano felt less like a car show and more
like a family reunion. Enthusiasts of all ages—from long-time Collectors to kids
just learning what a carburetor is—came together in one big community. The air
was filled with laughter, lively conversations, and the sense that everyone was
part of something bigger than themselves. Even if you didn’t own an Italian
car, you could still feel the passion and take inspiration home to your own
garage.
Food, Fun, & Family
The culinary
offerings were as vibrant as the cars themselves—delicious, plentiful, and
reflective of Italy’s love for food as art. Families gathered not just around
cars but around tables, enjoying authentic flavors that completed the cultural
immersion. The 40th edition swag
bags were a hit too—blankets, posters, Magellan’s car care items—little
souvenirs that will keep this memory alive.
Final Word
Concorso Italiano 40 was more than just a showcase of
Italian cars—it was a celebration of passion, craftsmanship, and community.
Whether you came for the Alfa Romeo Spiders, the Ferrari legends, or just to
soak in the atmosphere, there was something here for every enthusiast.
Five stars for the cars, the people, the food,
and most importantly, the unforgettable sense of family and welcome.
We’re already looking forward to Concorso Italiano
2026, knowing it will bring us back together to celebrate the passion that
keeps automotive history alive.
