Anantara Hotels & Resorts has just announced the inaugural Anantara Concorso Roma presented by UBS, an exclusive collector car concours set against the backdrop of historical Rome. 

In a celebration of La Dolce Vita, the event promises the very best in Italian design, hospitality and lifestyle hosted between 24-27 April 2025. Ah bellissima!

The three-day homage to Italian automotive craftsmanship and heritage will bring together 50 of the rarest and most significant historic Italian automobiles, many from private collections. Anantara Concorso Roma will feature only Italian cars including Alfa Romeo, Bugatti, Ferrari, Lancia, Lamborghini, Maserati and Pagani.

Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel will host the event.

The cars will be presented to a panel of international judges assembled by concours grandee Dott. Adolfo Orsi Jr. and celebrated Concours Director, Jeremy Jackson-Sytner.

And when you aren’t admired the amazing cars on display there are other features at the concorso, including Italian cuisine, craftsmanship, design, and luxury lifestyle showcased to a global stage. 

“Rome is enjoying a renaissance, making it the perfect moment for Anantara to shift the gears and launch a prestigious concours event for the capital,” said William Heinecke, Founder and Chairman of Minor International, Anantara’s parent company, and a long-time historic car enthusiast. 

The three-day event takes place in late April 2025 outside the hotel.

“I am confident that with support of our esteemed partners, we will successfully establish Anantara Concorso Roma as a pre-eminent annual international automobile event.”

"UBS is proud to be the official sponsor of the inaugural Anantara Concorso Roma, the latest addition to our exclusive program of classic car events,” said Benjamin Cavalli, Head of Global Wealth Management Strategic Clients at UBS. 

“This new partnership embodies the spirit of precision and craft we aspire to as a firm. We look forward to celebrating our passion for automotive excellence in April 2025 amidst the historic beauty of Rome."

As well as luxury Italian cars, the event will showcase the best of Italy.

Concours participants and car enthusiasts who wish to place themselves in the very heart of the action can book exclusive packages for two people that include VVIP weekend tickets, a stay at Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel, elevated dining experiences, and premier access to the event. Day passes start from €200.

Arrivederci, I’m just off to book my airfare to Rome for late April.
