The Concorso Italiano 2010 was held Friday, August 13th at the Laguna Seca Golf Ranch in Monterey, California. Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, the Concorso Italiano again featured hundreds of vehicles of Italian origin.
Hard to believe but Concorso Italiano’s place in the Monterey Week rotation was in question only two years ago when they changed venues to the inhospitable Marina Municipal Airport. Participants and spectators alike briefly vowed to never return to Concorso, but new organizers – led by Tom McDowell – worked hard to restore the tradition of prior years, starting with choosing the Laguna Seca Golf Ranch venue last year. Building on the success, the 2010 edition of Concorso Italiano has been called the best ever.
Concorso Italiano 2010 honored several cars, including Alfa Romeo’s centennial, the 45th anniversary of Bizzarrini, plus the 25th birthday of the Ferrari F40. There were also strong gatherings of Ferrari, Lamborghini, De Tomaso, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia, among others.

The Grey Haired man from Lamborghini is Valentino Balboni, not Vincent.
Thanks – something felt off when we were typing his name and now we know why. It is now corrected.
Despite the lack of Maseratis in the Photo Gallery, Maserati was well represented at Concorso. More photos can be seen here: http://picasaweb.google.com/davedellaquila/ConcorsoItaliano2010#
