This April, some of the world’s most desirable and coveted cars will go on display in Rome. The orchestrator of the event – Anantara – is hosting what may well be Europe’s ultimate car collector showcase. They’re calling it the Concorso Roma, and it promises to be a packed spectacle celebrating Italian hospitality, cuisine and craftsmanship.
Realised by Anantara Hotels & Resorts and sponsored by UBS, the event will take place in the heart of Rome. In addition to welcoming car enthusiasts from across the globe, the organisers are also 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.

Uniquely, the Anantara Concorso Roma will only feature Automobili Italiane— the legendary Italian marques. The event promises 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 will be presented at the showcase. In terms of star cars, the event is not short on some impressive examples, which have already confirmed their appearance.
The celebrated two-times Le Mans winning 1963 Ferrari 275 P is one of the first entries to be announced. There will also be some notable classic cars on display with 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 and early supercars will also take their place alongside modern hypercars. The Concorso is also inviting owners who have one-off prototypes, rare and significant sports racers as well as icons of La Dolce Vita style.
Cars will be grouped by class, and each class judged by a team of marque specialists based on authenticity and elegance.
