We’re not even done with the 2024 Concours season yet, and there’s already news of a new Concours for 2025. Presented by the Anantara Hotels & Resorts, The Anantara Concorso Roma will take place between 24-27 April 2025, located in the heart of Rome.
This three-day event promises to celebrate ‘the very best in Italian design, hospitality and lifestyle’, with 50 of the rarest and most significant historic Italian cars taking the centre stage. That means only Italian-born marques such as Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Lancia, Lamborghini, Maserati and Pagani will be featured, from the pre-war era to the modern day.
The cars will be judged by an international panel assembled by concours grandee Dott. Adolfo Orsi Jr. and celebrated Concours Director, Jeremy Jackson-Sytner. As well as the cars, the event will celebrate everything great about Italian culture: cuisine, craftsmanship, design, and luxury lifestyle.
Centred around the palatial Piazza della Repubblica in the heart of the city, Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel occupies a 19th century marble palace built over the ruins of the famous Diocletian Thermal Baths dating from AD 298 and overlooking the Fountain of the Naiads.
‘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. ‘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.’
