The first Anantara Concorso Roma will take place in April 2026, promising to be “bigger and more impressive” than the originally scheduled 2025 event that was postponed due to the passing of the Pope.

Taking place from 16 to 19 April 2026, the event will transform Rome into “a glamorous celebration of automotive elegance and refined living.” Organised by Anantara Hotels & Resorts, with Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome as the official host hotel and UBS as presenting partner, alongside Richard Mille and Lockton, it will centre around the Piazza della Repubblica.

A key highlight will be the exceptional collection of Italian automotive masterpieces. Vehicles already confirmed include the 1902 FIAT type 12/16hp, 1938 Lancia Astura 4 Serie Tipo 41 Cabriolet, 1951 Cisitalia 202 SC Gran Sport Cabriolet, 1956 Alfa Romeo 1900 Zagato, and the 1963 Ferrari 275P.

With the support of Roma Capitale government agency, the showfield has been expanded to encompass the circular Piazza Bucarest in the gardens of Villa Borghese.

Experiences on offer for guests attending the event include private city tours and luxury shopping experiences for those arriving on Wednesday 15 April. The following evening, guests will attend a welcome reception of the rooftop at Anantara Palazzo Naiadi.

On Friday 17 April, the Giro d’Anantara grand tour will take place, concluding with dinner at Guglielmo’s pop-up trattoria at Casina Valadier. Saturday 18 April, dubbed Concorso Judging Day, will feature a Champagne reception with lunch in the Owners’ Marquee, culminating in a black-tie Grand Palazzo dinner at Palazzo Brancaccio.

The event concludes on Sunday 19 April with the Awards Presentation, culminating in the announcement of Best of Show.

Exclusive VVIP packages and hotel stays are available, while day passes start at 95 EUR.
