05/06/2026 - 10' Mantua Concours d'Elegance

Sunday, June 7, 2026 marks another important event celebrating excellence in historic and sporting motoring.

Now in its tenth edition, the Club 8Volanti Tazio Nuvolari is organizing the “Concorso d’Eleganza Città di Mantova” (Mantua Elegance Competition) in the magnificent setting of Villa Schiarino Lena, under the patronage of Automobile Club Mantova and the Tazio Nuvolari Museum.

Inspired by the figure of Tazio Nuvolari beyond the world of racing, the Concorso d’Eleganza Città di Mantova is a purely cultural event whose primary aim is to inspire and engage spectators through the historical analysis and presentation of the vehicles entered in the competition.

As in the previous edition, the event will take place at Villa Schiarino Lena, a historic late-16th-century residence documented as having belonged to Marquis Luigi Gonzaga. The villa stands just 4 km from the historic center of Mantua.
