It was an excellent debut that of the Concorso d'Eleganza Varignana 1705, which after a weekend with unique moments and spectacular cars, crowned Corrado and Elena Lopresto's 1939 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 S Berlinetta Touring as Best of Show among no less than 23 vehicles of extraordinary history and design.

Great was the excitement for Corrado Lopresto: "The satisfaction is great because winning among all the categories of a Concours d'Elegance is not easy, especially when the cars are outstanding, as in this case. Winning as Best in show is everyone's dream. I am happy to have participated in the "number zero" edition of an event that I hope will become one of the important events in the season of
international concours d'elegance."

Five other cars won first place awards in the other categories: 1929 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 SS; 1950 FIAT 1100 E Vistotal; 1963 Ferrari 250 GTL; 1955 Lancia Aurelia B24 Spider; and 1972 BMW 3.0 CSL.

However, the Concorso d'Eleganza Varignana 1705 was much more: a total exaltation of beauty, elegance and passion for motors, with protagonists and guests from all over the world.

Palazzo di Varignana has confirmed itself as a place where truly Italian hospitality and food and wine are expressed at their highest levels, holding true to a "Heritage of Italian Lifestyle" that stems from the synthesis of elements that are out of the ordinary: an enchanting natural setting, a structure full of charm, an extreme search for authenticity in everything.

The history of the Concorso d'Eleganza Varignana is just at its opening chapter: appointment now for September 27-29, 2024 for new unforgettable pages.
