We hope to welcome many participants who have just finished the wonderful Via Hellenica. For those starting the rally here in Italy we seize the opportunity presented by trucks picking up the cars that completed the rally in Greece, to offer an affordable option to bring your car to Italy. Your vehicle will be ready for you upon arrival at Bari Airport.

Our Italy journey commences in the picturesque region of Puglia, where numerous charming small towns each boast their distinctive allure. Our initial stop will be in one such town, where the cars will be showcased on the main square, nestled between an ancient church and a majestic castle.

From the very start, you’ll find yourself immersed in the quintessential experience – small towns, captivating architecture, lively squares, and, of course, renowned Italian hospitality. A warm welcome awaits you.

Our next destination is a brief jaunt to Gargano National Park, where we’ll lodge in a comfortable hotel along the coast. A visit to a traditional cliffside fishery will provide a unique glimpse into local life. Spend the evening exploring the town’s myriad restaurants and bars at your leisure.

The theme of the rally is Italy as we remember it, our current destination is a typical town adorned with a captivating castle. The central square awaits, reserved for our classic cars. While some will reside in the castle, others will find comfort in charming B&Bs.

For the next two nights, we will stay in beautiful Alberghi Diffusi, a fantastic way to sleep in luxury in authentic Italian houses. But above all, it’s an amazing setting that creates an unforgettable atmosphere.

Our route takes us through the elevated plateau of Gran Sasso—an awe-inspiring experience and a hallmark of the Via Flaminia.

Next the rally proceeds to Umbria, where a castle-village-turned-hotel awaits. Transitioning 

from the desolate high plains of Gran Sasso to the gentle velvet valleys of Umbria is a delightful contrast. The countryside becomes increasingly inviting. The subsequent day, this feeling intensifies as we journey through Tuscany to a castle that has been a cherished stop since the inaugural Via Flaminia in 2005. This will present a fitting ambiance for the closing dinner. 

The next day it’s a 100 km drive to the Airport of Florence where we will be picking up your car to transport it back to Holland. 

If you choose the Smile Class, you’ll receive an app with the route for your smartphone, making navigation easy and stress-free.

Alternatively, you can opt for light competition in the Shine Class, where you’ll receive a road book and navigate using maps, noting down controls along the way. There’s no time pressure, so you can enjoy a relaxed cup of coffee or take pictures at your leisure.

 There are 28 places available for cars up to 1940.
