The Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza is one of the automotive world’s greatest events; some of the most important cars from across the globe gather at the historic grand hotel on the shores of Lake Como. For three days in May, Lake Como is flooded with the sounds of historic race cars and modern concepts, as many of these cars are driven. Motorcycles are also on display, but we will share photos of those in a later post. The Villa d’Este is one of those things every automotive enthusiast should check off their bucket list. For info on next year’s event visit the official website HERE.

This post is brought to you by our good friends at Suixtil, who not only were fortunate enough to attend but had a pop-up shop selling their heritage automotive sportswear. Visit Suixtil HERE

I hope to see you out there next year, but until then, enjoy the photos.
