Concorso Italiano

Founded in 1985 Concorso Italiano was the world's largest Italian auto show. It is a staple of the renowned Monterey Car Week. Concorso Italiano’s unique format features more than one thousand vehicles of Italian origin. Its atmosphere now focuses more than the vehicles on display, conversations between people who love and appreciate them. It is now the Preeminent Italian Lifestyle event and will also include elements of Italian style such as technology, design, jewelry, fashion, food, music and art – all of this on the beautiful grounds of the Bayonet & Black Horse Golf Course. Take everything ever made in Italy, from fashion to Ferraris, sprinkle it with some red wine, slather it in sunshine, and top it with elegance and fun, and you have Concorso Italiano. A place to enjoy "La Dolce Vita" during Monterey Car Week during the same time Italians enjoy Ferragosto. Which is when the Italians celebrate by downing tools and work, taking time off, and heading for the coast or the cool air. We invite everyone to come celebrate La Dolce Vita in the spirit of Ferrogosto with us on the balmy central coast of California at Concorso Italiano.
