The event is organised by Anantara Hotels & Resorts, with Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome as the official host hotel and UBS as presenting partner. Richard Mille and Lockton are also confirmed as event partners. Building on the unfortunate postponement of this year’s inaugural Anantara Concorso Roma, the ‘reborn’ event will be bigger and promises to be even more impressive, with organisers dedicated to delivering a breathtaking event that will delight Rome and its visitors. Organisers Bill Heinecke, Adolfo Orsi and Jeremy Jackson-Sytner are calling out to all friends in the car world to show their support for the reborn Anantara Concorso Roma and inviting owners of amazing Italian cars from around the world to join them in Rome. The better the cars – the better the show! Many of the distinguished car owners scheduled to attend in 2025 have already confirmed their participation for the new dates, with cars confirmed including: 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 1963 Ferrari 275P. “After the disappointment of having to postpone the inaugural event earlier this year, the upside, and indeed the irony of the postponement, is that the anticipation is high and people are really excited about the launch event. Anantara Concorso Roma has been attracting more interest than ever from all around the world, with many more car collectors and international VIPs keen to join us in Rome in April 2026,” said William E Heinecke, Chairman and Founder of Minor International, Anantara’s parent company. “Everybody was hugely supportive of the decision we had to make – especially the local Roman authorities. They respected the fact that it couldn’t have been an easy commercial choice. For the reborn event next April, they have pledged their support and are working with us to ensure that we put on a show that will go some way to addressing the effects of the postponement,” he continued. "UBS is delighted to remain as the presenting partner of the Anantara Concorso Roma. We are excited to bring the global community together and contribute to the anticipated success of the 2026 event,” said Benjamin Cavalli, Head of Strategic Clients and Global Connectivity, UBS Global Wealth Management.

Thanks to the generous support of Roma Capitale government agency, the rescheduled event will boast a larger showfield, extending beyond the original Casina Valadier to encompass the magnificent circular Piazza Bucarest in the gardens of Villa Borghese, creating an even more impressive display setting. Another highlight of the 2026 programme will be the Grand Palazzo dinner, to be held at the exquisite Palazzo Brancaccio near Santa Maria Maggiore. The noble Roman residence, with its grand architecture, frescoed interiors and sumptuous furnishings, will host a black‑tie evening, providing one of the true high points of the weekend. Private city tours and luxury shopping experiences for early arrivals will kick off the Concorso on Wednesday 15 April. All car owners and guests will enjoy a glittering welcome reception on the rooftop at Anantara Palazzo Naiadi on the evening of Thursday 16 April. On Friday 17 April the Giro d’Anantara grand tour will depart from Piazza della Repubblica, winding out through the city and creating a true spectacle for onlookers. The day will conclude with dinner at Guglielmo’s pop‑up trattoria at Casina Valadier in Villa Borghese. On Saturday 18 April – Concorso Judging Day – participants will gather at Casina Valadier and Piazza Bucarest for a Champagne reception, lunch in the Owners’ Marquee and further VIP sightseeing, before a black‑tie dinner at the magnificent Palazzo Brancaccio. Sunday 19 April will feature the closing display, followed by the Awards Presentation recognising Class and Special Awards, and culminating in the announcement of Best of Show. Concours participants and car enthusiasts who wish to place themselves in the very heart of the action can book exclusive packages that include VVIP weekend tickets, a stay at Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome, elevated dining experiences and premier access to the event. Day passes starting from 95 EUR are also available, as well as weekend passes with and without accommodation.
