A celebration of Italian style," Concorso Italiano embraces all cultural elements of Italian style, such as music, cuisine, fashion and travel tourism.
Concorso Italiano has celebrated Italian automobiles and style at Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course since 2003. In 2004, Concorso saw world-record turnouts of Ferraris and other Italian marques, and looks forward to its 21th Anniversary celebration in 2006!
Concorso Italiano is a celebration of Italian style, centered around Italy's incredible exotic and classic automobiles and motorcycles. But the event is not just about cars -- it's about people, renewing acquaintances, making new friends and sharing a common interest.
The Concorso emphasizes display and appreciation over competition. It is not an event where judges labor over and under cars looking for minor imperfections. Trophies are awarded in non-judged categories. Judged competitions are frequent within individual marque clubs, but at the sole discretion of each.
Concorso Italiano celebrates Italian style, culture and the personalities behind that "special essence." The ultimate goal of the organizers is to create an atmosphere so rich with Italian culture, you'll be convinced you spent the day in your favorite Italian city.
Concorso Italiano 2006 will honor all Italian Marques with a special emphasis on Lancias, all marques Italian and otherwise that have competed in the Targa Florio, and the beautiful automobiles designed by or influenced by Zagato.

Of all the car races still held today, the Targa Florio is the oldest; the likewise mythical Indianapolis being still a year younger.
