Concorso Italiano returned to Bayonet Black Horse Golf Course in Seaside on Saturday, August 15, running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and drawing nearly 600 registered vehicles for its 41st year. Set against Monterey Bay, the event brought together collectors, enthusiasts, industry leaders, and families for one of Monterey Car Week’s anchor gatherings, with the day built around the spirit of La Dolce Vita and filled with Italian cuisine, live music, fashion, and art.

Maserati built by Fantuzzi. It was ordered by the Automovel Club in Brasil and raced from 1951-57

The show field spanned the marques that have defined the event for four decades, including Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Bizzarrini, De Tomaso, Ferrari, FIAT, Iso, Lamborghini, Lancia, and Maserati, alongside the Global Exotics section reserved for notable machines from outside Italy.
