Concorso Italiano, 2010 Car Show Gallery 1


One of the close-up and personal moments, (all of the Concorso Itaniano is up close) this year was the first showing in the US of the wonderful one-off Ferrari SP1 2008 and Leonardo Fioravanti, Designer with the owner Hunichiro Hiramatsu, first unveiling and then explaining the car to the assembled admires.

I usually find music sent over the loud speaker systems at large out door events distracting and full of distortion. However walking through the sea of Italian cars with artist Pasquale Esposito sharing his great voice and music made a perfect day even better. AllCarCentral's reporter Clara was on hand at the stage to record and enjoy the singing and fashion show, which is all part of the Full Italian Experience, that Concorso does so well.

As car shows go, most organizers try to have a broad assemblage of models and makes to please the attendees. As of late there has been a shift to assemble large numbers of the same rare model. Such as 2009's grouping of the Ferrari GTO's and the 4 Alfa B.A.T. cars. This year we were treated to a very fine group of Ferrari F40 Cars. Of course there are more Ferraris, Alfa Romeos and Lamborghinis than one can look over in one day. Walking about the field I look for the rare model that I have not seen before or rarely see. I am never disappointed at the Concorso. The Zagato Perana Z-One 2010-2011 comes to mind for this year.

Alfa Romeo enjoying its 100 year in business brought a very broad collection of their models with great signage explaining what we were looking at.

There is always one car on the field that surprises me in that I very much admire it but never thought I will get to see it in person. Last year it was the 2008 Alfa Romeo BAT 11 by Stile Bertone. This year it was the 1969 Bizzarrini Manta by Giotto Bizarrini.

The Concorso Itaniano comes together and flows through the day with ease. There seems to be little effort to place much restriction and control through out the event yet I know that the magic is in the preplanning and setup.

Fantastico!
