Elements of Italian Style
A must-see event during the annual Monterey Motoring Week, Concorso Italiano celebrates all things Italian, although the primary focus is a broad array of Italian vehicles. On August 25, hundreds of cars lined the fairways of the Bayonet Black Horse Golf Course in Seaside, California, with acres of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Maseratis, Alfa Romeos and other marques blanketing the hills overlooking Monterey Bay. The 33rd annual Concorso celebrated three golden milestones: the 50th anniversary of the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona, the 50th anniversary of the Lamborghini Islero, and the 50th anniversary of the Lamborghini Espada. The event also offers a glimpse into elements of Italian style including fashion, food and music, but it’s really all about the cars. Here are some favorites from this year’s Concorso Italiano.
