The highly anticipated debut of Anantara Concorso Roma will now take place from 16 to 19 April 2026, following a postponement out of respect for the passing of Pope Francis and related events in Rome.
Set against the backdrop of the Eternal City, the event will embody la dolce vita, celebrating Italy’s finest automotive masterpieces, luxury hospitality, gourmet cuisine, and timeless style. Planning is well advanced, with venues being finalized and key partners reaffirming their commitment.
UBS returns as the presenting partner, with other sponsors also confirmed. The concours will gather an exclusive selection of Italy’s most prestigious cars, curated from the world’s top collections. Many owners originally set to participate in 2025 have already pledged their involvement for 2026.
The Anantara Palazzo Naiadi, located in Piazza della Repubblica, will serve as the event’s hub, hosting guests for a series of curated experiences. Highlights include the Giro d’Anantara, where concours cars will embark on a scenic drive to Frascati for a private luncheon, followed by a weekend of judging and culminating in the Best in Show award ceremony.
“This will be a true celebration of Italian excellence—automotive, cultural, and beyond,” said an event spokesperson. “Rome provides the perfect stage for this spectacular gathering.”
Further details, including participating vehicles and special guests, will be announced in the coming months.
