London, May 24, 2024 , (Oilandgaspress) –Alfa Romeo is pleased to announce its participation in the “Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este,” the most exclusive and traditional vintage car event in the world, due to take place from May 24 to 26 at Lake Como. Held for the first time in 1929, the event has always been hosted in the magnificent gardens of the Grand Hotel Villa d’Este and Villa Erba in Cernobbio; around 50 models take part every year, divided into different categories and judged by a team of experts. Since 2002, a prize has been introduced for the most fascinating prototypes, which represent the link between the past and the future of the automobile. Competing for the coveted Design Concept Award, the new Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale is an authentic ‘manifesto’ of the Italian brand’s capabilities – now and in the future – in terms of style and driving experience.
Made in only 33 exclusive units, for 33 of the brand’s fans, the new two-seater coupé combines heritage and the future, and is produced according to a unique artisanal process with the highest quality standards and obsessive attention to detail. Last year, a few months after the launch of the new 33 Stradale, Alfa Romeo intended to unofficially announce the arrival of the magnificent Alfa Romeo ‘few-off’: it took to Villa d’Este the Tipo 33, a star in 1960s motorsport and the basis for the legendary 1967 33 Stradale, in turn the Alfa Romeo team’s inspiration for the creation of the Biscione brand’s new custom-built car. At the enchanting Villa Erba – the venue last year for the centenary celebrations of the 24 Hours of Le Mans – the Italian brand lined up two gems from its vintage collection, both of which featured on the iconic French circuit: the 33/2 “Daytona” (1968) and the 33 TT 12 (1975).
Emotions, passion and prestige also characterize the 2024 edition, as can be seen from the packed schedule that includes the arrival of the competing cars at Villa d’Este on Friday, May 24, and the exclusive gala dinner. The following day, the exhibition will be reserved for experts, insiders, and the awarding of the first prizes, while on Sunday 26 the Festival will take place. Open to the public, it will be hosted in the park at Villa Erba, where visitors’ favorite car will be crowned. Just like every year, the event will end with the eagerly awaited and evocative parade in public of rarities from the past, together with futuristic concept cars.
