Lake Como – It would be hard to find another event where beauty, elegance and technical perfection come together as spectacularly as during the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. The atmosphere surrounding the Grand Hotel Villa d’Este on the shores of Lake Como has turned this beauty contest into a unique experience for all visitors since its inauguration in the year 1929.
On the last weekend in April, more than 50 classic cars along with 12 concept cars and prototypes once again accepted the invitation from the Grand Hotel and the BMW Group to line up before the appreciative gaze of the public and the Jury.
