Anantara Concorso Roma, the new collector car spectacle by Anantara Hotels & Resorts, is gearing up for its glamourous debut on 24-27 April 2025. This exclusive event, which is sponsored by UBS, will take place in the heart of Rome and is now open for registration. The organisers are inviting car owners from around the world to submit a car for application in the hope of gaining one of the limited display places in the Concorso.
Car enthusiasts are also welcome to join the party without a car, and join in the packed weekend programme celebrating the best of Italian hospitality, cuisine and craftsmanship.
There is a selection of VIP hospitality packages to choose from, each offering privileged experiences at the event and in the historic capital.
The top-of-the-range Romulus Package for car owners combines a three-night stay at Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome, luxury shuttles, premier access to the full Concorso including elevated dining experiences amid the sumptuous frescoes and fragrant gardens of Rome’s neoclassical marvel, Casina Valadier.
The elegant villa overlooking the Eternal City will be at the heart of the action across the weekend beginning on Saturday with the hosting of an alfresco Champagne reception, a gourmet lunch with fine wines and afternoon tea surrounded by the timeless charm of an architectural jewel. On Sunday, Casina Valadier’s gardens will become a lively social hub of market-style booths offering gourmet bites, fine coffee, artisanal gelato and flutes of bubbles from the Champagne bar, culminating in the awards presentation and the Best in Show showcase.
Anantara Concorso Roma is thrilled to partner with Technogym, offering an exclusive health and wellbeing experience for Concorso guests at the Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel. Guests can start the day with a guided anaerobic exercise session on the hotel rooftop, featuring breathwork and a stretching routine. Technogym personal trainers will be available in the fitness centre to guide workouts, while a dedicated nutritional corner at breakfast will provide healthy, nourishing options. This unique focus on health and wellness sets Anantara Concorso Roma apart from other car concours shows, creating a balanced and enriching experience for all attendees. Other confirmed partners include CARS, Whispering Angel, Lockton, Lamborghini Polo Storico and Schedoni.
Uniquely, the Anantara Concorso Roma will only feature Automobili Italiane— the legendary Italian marques with a view to have a curated line-up of the very best Italian masterpieces ever assembled in one place. A complete story of the Italian sports and racing car, featuring all the great marques: Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Pagani and Bugatti—an Italian car by birth. The celebrated two-times Le Mans winning 1963 Ferrari 275 P is one of the first entries to be announced.
The Concorso will feature early pioneering automobiles, pre and post-war cars, racing cars from the golden eras of historic racing, sports and GT cars from the 50s and 60s, early supercars, right up to modern hypercars. We’re inviting owners who have one-off prototypes, rarely, if ever, seen sports racers, significant race cars, icons of La Dolce Vita style—all rare and beautiful collector cars are welcome.
The cars will be grouped by class, and each class judged by a team of marque specialists based on authenticity and elegance. The panel of international judges, assembled by concours grandee and Chief Judge Dott. Adolfo Orsi Jr. includes Honorary Judge Lorenzo Ramaciotti, Massimo Delbò, Francois Melcion, Stefano Pasini, Laura Kukuk, Donald Osborne and Johanne Marshall.
