Just hours remain until the start of the Milan-Portofino Rally, an event that has gained global resonance.

The Car Parade
Crews from New York, Switzerland, Monaco, and Spain will participate in this event.

The Milan-Portofino Rally represents a bridge between two icons of Italian style: Milan, a hub of creativity, and Portofino, where the frenetic pace of the city harmonizes with the beauty of an enchanting landscape.

Milan, with its historic buildings and entrepreneurial spirit, contrasts with the tranquility of Portofino, a world-famous village nestled in the azure Tigullio Gulf, surrounded by the scents of salty air, blooming rosemary, and renowned Ligurian cuisine.

As planned, the crews will stay at the Grand Hotel Principe di Savoia, where the gala dinner will offer a glamorous and convivial atmosphere, allowing everyone to escape from everyday worries.

Immediately afterward, the crews will head to the Tazio Nuvolari Circuit in Cervesina, in the Oltrepo Pavese region, where the skill tests will take place on one of the longest tracks in Italy.

Riviera Film Festival
During the journey through the hills of the Ligurian hinterland, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy lunch in an exclusive location before continuing to the picturesque promontory of Sestri Levante. Here, in the Bay of Silence, the 2026 Riviera International Film Festival will be held, an event that brings together young film talents from around the world.

The participating cars will be the protagonists of this cinematic setting, adding a touch of elegance to the event.

On the evening of Saturday, May 9th, the Grand Hotel a Portofino Coast will host participants for a Sunset Dinner, combining the pleasures of gastronomy with the beauty of the sunset over the sea.

Porto Carlo Riva
On the morning of Sunday, May 10th, the crews will head to Porto Carlo Riva in Rapallo to greet the moored yachts, a gesture known in sports jargon as the "inchio" (bow).

The Concorso d'Eleganza will take place in Portofino's historic Piazzetta, where the winning car, the "Queen of the Piazzetta," will be chosen. As usual, the Milan-Portofino race will conclude with an exclusive lunch at Carlo Cracco's restaurant, overlooking the Gulf, where guests will be able to enjoy a special menu created by the renowned chef.
