The main highlight of the weekend is the prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este competition. This highly respected competition brings together a carefully selected group of classic cars, each vying for the coveted titles awarded to the winners within their entry categories. With each auto being meticulously judged by a panel of experts, the competition assesses the vehicles based on their historical accuracy, originality, condition, and overall aesthetic appeal.
