The 2009 The Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este

Some amazing photography from this Concorso
A stunning 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Berlinetta Touring won 'Best of Show' at the 2009 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on the grounds of Villa Erba in Cernobbio, which is about 25 miles north of Milan, Italy.

I received the release about the Concorso from the BMW Press Group but only decided to post about it when I saw the beautiful photography taken during the event.

Unfortunately, the weather turned gray on Sunday, with rain throughout the day. It didn't seem to turn visitors away though.

“The great response from the public despite the poor weather shows how this event has become a firm fixture on the calendar of car aficionados from both this region and countries around the world,” said Karl Baumer, President of the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este and Director of BMW Group Classic. “The weather on Sunday could have been better for the 80th anniversary of the Concorso, but a sunny Saturday with this selection of cars provided a more than worthy setting for our anniversary Concorso,” added Jean-Marc Droulers, President of Villa d’Este S.p.A.
