Having driven on some incomparable roads in New South Wales and Victoria recently during the wonderful seventh edition of the Targa Classica (of which I have taken part in five) this month sees me taking a road less traveled as  Tutti Le Strade Portano A Roma for the inaugural Anantara Concorso Roma where I am honoured to be a member of the Jury led by Adolfo Orsi of Maserati fame. For just three days in 2025, 24-27 April, Rome will be the capital of the historical car world. The Centro Storico, arguably the greatest open-air museum there is, will showcase the very best rare historic cars in the world, from around the world. An impressive concorso d’eleganza amongst the magnificent ancient Roman antiquities and Renaissance treasures.

This new motoring spectacle will offer a gathering of the rarest and most significant historic Automobili Italiane from around the globe, for a vibrant three-day celebration of the very best in Roman hospitality, Italian cuisine and luxury style—la dolce vita!

Uniquely, the Anantara Concorso Roma will only feature Automobili Italiane. A curated line-up of the very best Italian masterpieces of every age—from the early pioneering days, through the heroic decades of racing supremacy, the era of power, performance and style, up to the modern era of the first supercars. The story of the Italian sports car featuring all the great marques: Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, to include Bugatti—an Italian car by birth.

I am very excited and look forward to bringing you news and images of the Caput Mundi of the Motoring World but until my next post here are a few mages from https://targaclassica.com
