The Milano Portofino restarts for the third edition 2025!
1-2-3-4 May 2025, 40 selected crews will depart from the Milan fashion district to arrive in Portofino square.
Forty crews - 30 important and rare historic cars and 10 contemporary supercars in Tribute mode - have enthusiastically joined the Event, which is proposed as "starred" as the previous ones. The OldCar24 Organization with the collaboration of Scuderia Montenapoleone have the ambition to offer Gentlemen Drivers and the kind Ladies the best of hospitality and maximum comfort.
May 1: Upon arrival in Milan, participants will be welcomed at the Grand Hotel Principe Savoia, an icon of Milanese hospitality. Subsequently, the cars - with the privilege of the Carabinieri escort - will parade to go to the large courtyard of the Palazzo del Senato, a building famous for its history and architectural value. A short visit to an art museum in the city will follow. In the evening, the GALA DINNER at the Grand Hotel Principe di Savoia will be a special occasion for a formal and elegant meeting between participants in an atmosphere of great luxury. The presence of cultural figures is expected.
May 2: In the morning, the caravan will set off towards the Piacenza and Parma area, along the provincial roads that cross a verdant and picturesque landscape, dotted with ancient villages and castles. The first stop is scheduled at the CASTLE of RIVALTA, a sumptuous noble residence dating back to the Middle Ages, typically turreted and surrounded by a magnificent park. Participants will be able to visit the imposing fortified complex and the Museum that occupies part of it. At 1 pm DINNER will be served at the “La Rocchetta” Restaurant, with local specialties.
In the afternoon, the crews will set off again for CASTELL’ARQUATO, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, located along the hill overlooking the Val d’Arda. It has the title of “city of art” for its medieval buildings: the Palazzo del Podestà (1292) with its crenellated profile, the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Assunta, with its large apses in the purest Romanesque style. The Visconti, the Malaspina, the Sforza and even the great leader Bartolomeo Colleoni alternated in their dominion of Castell’Arquato. The Rocca Viscontea, with its mighty towers. The FIRST REGULARITY TESTS will be held in Castell’Arquato, along the ancient walls and the historic area. Then departure for SALSOMAGGIORE TERME.
SALSOMAGGIORE TERME guests will be able to enjoy the spa route.
For almost eighty years it has been the place dedicated to the election of female beauty and we will hold a special Elegance Competition - MISS AUTO SALSOMAGGIORE TERME, which will award the three most beautiful cars in the two categories: VINTAGE and TRIBUTE. 1st, 2nd, 3rd prize.
Why this “coronation”? As Gabriele d’Annunzio said:
“THE CAR IS FEMININE. IT HAS ALL THE GRACE, THE SLIMNESS, THE VIVACITY OF A SEDUCTRIX”.
The dinner on May 2nd and the overnight stay will be held at the Grand Hotel in Salsomaggiore Terme, a luxury location equipped with a thermal space of absolute excellence, where you can find calm, silence, well-being, after so many emotions and sensations.
May 3: From the Grand Hotel in Salsomaggiore Terme, the 30 historic cars and the 10 Tribute cars will take the provincial road to Liguria. The first Coffee Break will be in BEDONIA, a charming little town in the Parma area, one of those places whose simplicity and the friendliness of the inhabitants warm the heart.
Then, off! Along the Ligurian Apennines, towards CHIAVARI.
In this ancient coastal city, the crews will encounter the blue expanse of the Ligurian Sea, overlooked by the imposing palace / tower of the former Colonia Fara.
This building is a magnificent example of rationalist architecture from the Thirties, inaugurated by Mussolini in 1938.
The curvilinear volume of the structure, which projects out onto the sea, has a strong visual impact and recalls the first aerodynamic shapes of the cars of that era, the object of research by the most advanced car manufacturers and body shops: Tatra, Dymaxion, Talbot Lago, and the Zagato body shop. In this important structure, saved from abandonment by a wise restoration (2021), is located the refined, bright, very modern WAMA RESTAURANT, where, around 1 pm, the crews will stop for a particular, unique taste and multisensory experience, with a breathtaking view. After lunch, escorted by the Carabinieri, the second session of timed trials will take place in the alleys of the historic center of Chiavari, then the cars will be parked in Piazza Matteotti for a pit stop at the Gran Caffè Defilla, a famous and historic place to breathe in the emotion with the historic vintage cars.
Among the special cars, the TRIBUTE will feature the Navy blue Mercedes AMG GTR supercar, customized by Garage Italia Customs, created exclusively by Lapo, the grandson of the Lawyer whose aura, in this place, still reverberates the international lifestyle.
Guests will have lunch on Sunday 4 May at the famous Cracco Restaurant, starred and superlative, the prestigious partnership MILANOPORTOFINO - CHEF CRACCO continues.
The restaurant overlooking the splendor of the blue Gulf, "as if designed by a divine hand", for a joyful and convivial adventure of the palate.
In the afternoon, the respective categories will be awarded: EPOCA and TRIBUTE, at the conclusion of MILANO PORTOFINO 2025.
