Elegance Competition in Cernobbio

Let’s start with something very close to us, that is the Elegance Competition in Cernobbio which will take place on 20-22 May. It is a real triumph of elegance, classic cars and celebrities. Where? At Villa d’Este, a few kilometers from our Hotel Posta in Moltrasio. Here classic cars fans can watch close many fascinating classic cars. There will be in fact even new cars with extravagant design, prototypes and concept cars, this for a perfect alignment to the idea of this edition that is “Back to the Future: The Journey Continues.”

The first edition of the Cernobbio Elegance Competition was organized in 1929, in the middle of the period of these great aristocratic and luxury cars. For this reason and because of VIP that are always there we can say that it is a of the most important events in Cernobbio, in 2015 special guests were Lapo Elkann and Angela Missoni. But we have to talk about the event protagonist: the cars. They are judged in different categories by an  experts team through with several awards, such as the “Best of Show” for the most unique car, beautiful and full of passion. The most famous prize of the festival is the “Coppa d’Oro Villa d’Este”, which is annually decided by people who partecipate. In addition to these two prestigious awards there is also a prize for the Concept Car category.
