With 62 registered participants, this Saturday, September 20th, La Passeggiata, the event that celebrates the tradition and elegance of classic Italian cars, will take place.
Organised by ACP Clássicos, with the institutional support of the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Portugal and the sponsorship of the Italian Embassy, the event will feature iconic cars from various eras, heading to the Palace Hotel da Curia.
The 2025 edition stands out for the presence of models of great historical and collector’s value that have marked the last nine decades of the automotive industry. The oldest example is a 1937 Fiat Balilla. Among the rarest are the Lancia Aurelia B20 GT S Coupé (1958) and the Alfa Romeo Montreal (1973). Also taking centre stage will be the Lancia Montecarlo (1981), the Ferrari Dino 246 GT (1971), and the Ferrari 512 TR (1992), among many others.
The tour begins in Curia and continues to Mata do Bussaco, considered the event’s central moment. Participant gatherings and connections to Curia will take place in Lisbon and Porto, but it is on the route between Curia and Bussaco that the true essence of La Passeggiata is experienced.
In the afternoon, the program includes a visit and snack in the gardens of Mata do Bussaco, followed by an aperitif and dinner at the Palace Hotel da Curia. The day concludes with the selection of the most elegant ensemble, reinforcing the spirit of style and conviviality that distinguishes La Passeggiata.
The event is also supported by Generali Tranquilidade, Falconeri, Emporio Italia, NZN, and the Mata do Bussaco Foundation.
