Padua is preparing to reignite the engines of history.
From February 26 to 28, 2027, the Padova Fair will host Padova Only Classics – Fair of Motoring Excellence 1886-1977, a new international show entirely dedicated to the great masterpieces of historic two- and four-wheel mobility. Organized by Intermeeting under the aegis of Auto e Moto d’Epoca BolognaFiere, the project has a precise and highly selective identity: not a generalist fair, but a rigorous event that focuses exclusively on vehicles with at least 50 years of history, authentic witnesses to the technical, industrial, and cultural evolution of the automobile and motorcycle.

A complementary format to existing major events, designed to bring the most iconic models back to the forefront, from their origins to the icons of the post-World War II era and the 1970s. "With Padova Only Classics, we are strengthening a high-profile trade fair project, born from the collaboration with Auto e Moto d'Epoca BolognaFiere and under its authoritative aegis," says Luciano Rizzi, CEO of Intermeeting. "This initiative further expands and enhances the offering dedicated to classic motoring, introducing a highly selective format. The goal is to consolidate Padua's role on the international scene and offer collectors, operators, and institutions a new point of reference."

After more than forty years of Padua's tradition of historic collecting—culminating with the Auto e Moto d'Epoca Show, which later moved to Bologna due to space constraints—the city is once again taking center stage with a focused event, compatible with the scale of its own fair and perfectly integrated into the neighborhood's revitalization plan.
Padua Only Classics will be more than just an exhibition, but a true story: each vehicle will become part of a broader narrative that intertwines technological progress, design culture, and a passion for collecting. A heritage that spans generations and continues to exert a timeless appeal. This event is destined to quickly become a European benchmark in the sector, because every historic car or motorcycle is more than just a vehicle: it is a story of ingenuity that continues to speak to the present. The event will be held from February 26 to 28, 2027, at the Padua Fairgrounds.
