Event History
Created by Guglielmo Miani in 2019, the FuoriConcorso event series celebrates the finest aspects of automotive culture with events and rallys in Italy and around the world.
The main FuoriConcorso event is held annually in May in the gardens of Villa Grumello and Villa Sucota, two glamorous estates overlooking Lake Como and the surrounding mountains. Every year, the special exhibition highlights a different aspect of automotive history and creativity with a line-up of iconic, rare and previously unseen custom cars and prototypes. Since 2022, the event format has been extended to a third outstanding location with FuoriConcorso Open Museum. Every year, this special open-air exhibition hosts another world-class car museum, a foundation or a collection in the lakeshore estate of Villa Olmo.
Furthermore, FuoriConcorso has impressed the car community with a series of creative spin-off events, such as an exhibition of historic Formula 1 cars at the iconic Villa Necchi Campiglio in Milan or road rallies for white collector cars.
