An exclusive event: twenty prestigious classic cars take centre stage on a captivating night-time journey from Milan to the Ligurian Riviera, where motoring, elegance and iconic locations come together.

“And the stars are watching…”

Milan is preparing to host an extraordinary motoring experience. On 7 and 8 November 2026, Milan–Portofino Under the Stars will take place, an event conceived by OldCar24, an international platform dedicated to classic cars, collector cars and supercars, in collaboration with Scuderia Montenapoleone.

For the first time, the prestigious Milan–Portofino route will become an exclusive night-time experience, with twenty extraordinary classic cars ready to cross the Italian landscape beneath a starry sky.

As darkness falls, the cars’ headlights will light up the road and the roar of their engines will break the silence of the night, creating an evocative meeting of motoring passion, emotion and beauty.

MILAN, THE CITY THAT RISES: DEPARTURE FROM CITYLIFE

The crews will gather on Saturday 7 November at 3:30 p.m. at NH Collection Milano CityLife, a refined hotel created through the restoration of a 1920s church, where historic architecture and contemporary design coexist harmoniously.

The choice of CityLife is no coincidence: the district represents a Milan looking to the future, the modernity celebrated by Futurism, which saw the automobile as one of the most powerful symbols of progress.

After a welcome aperitif, at 4:30 p.m. the cars will set off for Portofino, making a spectacular passage through Milan, accompanied by motorcycles from the Carabinieri Mobile Unit, as arranged by the organisers.

PORTOFINO: TWENTY AUTOMOTIVE GEMS IN THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS PIAZZETTA

Arrival at Portofino’s legendary Piazzetta is expected at around 9:30 p.m.

Under the lights of the Riviera, the cars will take centre stage in a spellbinding spectacle, framed by the timeless allure of their classic bodywork and the unique atmosphere of the Ligurian village.

The evening will continue with an exclusive dinner at Ristorante Strainer, reserved for participants and offering a splendid view of the harbour. Afterwards, the cars will be displayed in the Piazzetta before being parked for the night.

The crews will stay at the Hotel Piccolo Boutique, in a prime location overlooking the sea.

RAPALLO AND NERVI: SPORT, YACHTING AND EXCEPTIONAL HOSPITALITY

On Sunday 8 November, at 10:30 a.m., the event will continue to the exclusive Porto Carlo Riva in Rapallo, where driving skill tests will take place.

The classic cars will take centre stage in an evocative encounter between two worlds united by a shared pursuit of excellence: classic-car motoring and luxury yachting.

After a break devoted to Ligurian culinary specialities, the crews will make their way to Hotel Capitolo Riviera in Nervi, a prestigious five-star hotel, for the closing lunch, scheduled for around 1 p.m.

Against the elegant backdrop of the Riviera, amid the park’s greenery and views of the Ligurian Sea, the awards ceremony will officially bring the event to a close.

OLDCAR24 AND SCUDERIA MONTENAPOLEONE: A PASSION WITHOUT BORDERS

Milan–Portofino Under the Stars was created by OldCar24, together with Scuderia Montenapoleone, to celebrate historic automotive heritage through experiences that bring together sport, culture, high-end tourism and international connections.

OldCar24, a platform specialising in the buying and selling of classic cars, collector cars and supercars, reaches an international audience of enthusiasts and collectors, helping bring global visibility to the event and its participants.

A project already looking ahead: the fifth edition of Milan–Portofino is scheduled for spring 2027, with expressions of interest already received from abroad.

The calendar will also feature The Snow, scheduled to take place in Limone Piemonte from 15 to 17 January 2027, along with new events celebrating a passion for classic cars, including a future gathering in Torre del Lago Puccini.

MORE THAN CARS: EMOTIONS TO SHARE

“The only true luxury is that of human relationships.” — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

This is precisely the spirit behind Milan–Portofino Under the Stars: not merely a journey among extraordinary cars and prestigious destinations, but an opportunity to share emotions, friendships and a passion that transcends generations and borders.

Because some cars were born to make history. Others, to keep making us dream. Even under the stars.
