Concorso Italiano, 2012 Car Show Monterey, California


Beautiful Cars, Beautiful People, Beautiful Surroundings. Three things that describe the CONCORSO ITALIANO.

The Concorso Italiano is a day of everything Italian.

That said the 2012 Concorso was also a day in the sun surrounded by more Italian cars than one person could see in a day. I know I tried. The Concorso is a bit like Italy. Maybe one has to chose. See the overall views. Do shopping at the designer shops around the countryside (field). Sit back and enjoy the hot Italian cars that are everywhere. Choose one or two special marques of interest and spend the day taking with the owners. Eat and drink one's way around the field, plenty of food, wine, and coffee available from top line venders. Or hang around the plaza (center stage) and enjoy the show. Fiat was a major sponsor and there were the new 500's all over the place.

The main attractions, beside all the red cars, were at the center stage. Featured were the 2012 Bertone Nuccio, 2012 Pagani Huayra, and the Lamborghini announcement of the upcoming 50th anniversary.

A fun part of the center stage action is the Fashion Show which strutted the high fashions from Roberto Mantellassi, Romanoos Gallery, Sylvie's Unique Boutique, and Tommy Bahama. Beautiful cars. Beautiful clothing, Beautiful people. Beautiful location.

La vita è bella

The CONCORSO ITALIANO is an 'Elegant Lawn Party' with all your new friends. Walk around and talk with the car owners or shop at the many auto, art and fashion featured tents around the show. Join the group at the stands and listen to the almost non-stop presentation of the best in the car world
