From Ferrari to Maserati: Rome’s Most Iconic Locations Will Host a Stunning Display of Italy’s Automotive Legends
Anantara Hotels & Resorts is bringing a new level of elegance to the Eternal City with Anantara Concorso Roma, a prestigious collector’s car competition set to take place from April 24 to 27, 2025. Sponsored by UBS, this exclusive event is a tribute to the Dolce Vita and will be showcasing the best of Italian design, hospitality, and lifestyle in the heart of Rome.
For three days, Rome will become the epicenter of automotive elegance. Fifty of the rarest Italian cars will be on display. These include many from private collections, rarely seen in public. Among the brands are Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati. Each car tells a story—spanning from early motoring pioneers to modern supercars.
ITALIAN EXCELLENCE ON DISPLAY
The cars will be presented to an international jury. Adolfo Orsi Jr., a renowned automotive expert, will lead the judging panel. Joining him is Concours director Jeremy Jackson-Sytner. Together, they will ensure the competition showcases the finest craftsmanship. The cars will be strategically placed across the city, from the Centro Storico to the Renaissance treasures scattered throughout the city. Therefore, the Concours will present a unique intersection of history, art, and speed.
“Rome is experiencing a renaissance,” said William Heinecke, founder of Minor International. “It’s the perfect time for Anantara to bring a prestigious Concorso to the capital.” Heinecke, a long-time classic car enthusiast, aims to make Anantara Concorso Roma a yearly tradition. With support from partners and Italy’s famed hospitality, it’s set to be a standout event.
