While originally planned for April 24 to 27, 2025, the inaugural Anantara Concorso Roma is now set to take place between April 16 and 19, 2026 in Rome, Italy. This follows the launch event’s postponement, out of respect for the passing of Pope Francis and the related events taking place in Rome. .

Planning is already well underway for the Anantara Concorso Roma 2026 event, with dates confirmed and venues being finalized. After the postponement, the event will be held in Rome during the springtime and will celebrate “la dolce vita” and all things Italian, including hospitality, style and cuisine.Meanwhile, UBS has confirmed its participation and support for the event as the presenting partner, while to date, all other partners have also expressed their continued support.

Right from the start, the vision for the inaugural Anantara Concorso Roma was to invite the world’s foremost car collectors and assemble a sensational selection of exclusively Italian masterpieces in the heart of Rome, making it a spectacle befitting the historic setting. This will then continue in the following year, as many car owners have confirmed they will participate in the next event.

Moreover, Anantara Palazzo Naiadi will continue to be at the heart of the action, with most owners, partners, media and other guests staying at the Piazza della Repubblica property. The event schedule will include the Giro d’Anantara, during which many of the participating cars will be driven through and out of the city of Rome to Frascati.

There, the car owners and special guests will enjoy a private lunch. Moreover, the weekend’s Concours, where the several classes of cars will be judged, and Sunday’s awards ceremony, will culminate with the announcement of Best in Show.
