The Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este is one of the most important beauty competitions in the world and is commonly mentioned in the same breath as Pebble Beach.
The organizers have once again identified exciting topics for 2019 that give hope for interesting cars (and motorcycles).
As usual, the 50 or so cars will be divided into eight classes, in each of which a class winner will be chosen. There will also be special prizes and, of course, the Best of Show and the Coppa d'Oro, which will be awarded by the public on Saturday afternoon in the park of the Villa d'Este in Cernobbio near Como.
