Anantara Concorso Roma Announces Dates for Inaugural Event To Take Place April 16-19, 2026

Rome, Italy, May 8, 2025: The inaugural Anantara Concorso Roma will take place between April 16 and 19, 2026. The date is announced following the launch event’s postponement last month, out of respect for the passing of Pope Francis and the related events taking place in Rome.

Planning is already well underway for Anantara Concorso Roma 2026, with dates confirmed and venues being finalized. The event will take place in Rome in the springtime and will celebrate la dolce vita and all things Italian, including hospitality, cuisine, and style. 

UBS has confirmed its participation and support for the event as presenting partner. To date all the other partners have also expressed their continued support.

From the outset, 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 center of Rome—a spectacle befitting the historic setting. This will continue into 2026 and many of the car owners who were to join the 2025 event have already confirmed they will be participating next year.

Host hotel Anantara Palazzo Naiadi will be at the heart of the action, with most owners, partners, media, and other guests staying at the property in Piazza della Repubblica. The schedule of events will include the Giro d’Anantara—during which many of the cars participating in the Concorso will be driven through and out of Rome to Frascati for a private lunch with car owners and special guests—the weekend’s Concours, where the numerous classes of cars will be judged, and Sunday's awards ceremony, culminating in the announcement of Best in Show.

More information on the inaugural Anantara Concorso Roma will be shared in the coming months. For updates, register for the Anantara Concorso Roma newsletter and follow the event on Instagram at @anantaraconcorsoroma.
