May 26, 2026: Cavallino Classic’s annual Modena gathering is a tribute to the origins of the legend and the passion of Ferrari. Over three unforgettable days at Casa Maria Luigia, guests were immersed in the essence of Dolce Vita, guided by the world-renowned hospitality of Massimo Bottura and Lara Gilmore, the visionary duo behind the globally acclaimed Osteria Francescana. Collectors and participants alike savored extraordinary gastronomy, exceptional wines, contemporary art, the quintessential Italian sun, and an atmosphere of timeless charm.
At the heart of the weekend was, naturally, the Concours d’Elegance, held on Saturday.

The tribute to the legend was not limited to celebrating the stylistic elegance of the Prancing Horse: on Saturday afternoon, the automobiles passed through the gates of Casa Maria Luigia for an exciting parade through the streets of the historic city center of Modena, arriving at the Enzo Ferrari Museum. The homage continued the following day in Maranello and the surrounding hills, on roads that have been travelled by Ferrari road prototypes since 1947, heading to Casa Canossa, headquarters of Canossa Events for an excellence lunch signed by the starred Chef Andrea Incerti Vezzani.
“Cavallino Classic Modena every year brings the spirit of Palm Beach here, to the place where it all began, between Modena, the city where Enzo Ferrari was born and where he founded the Scuderia – stated Luigi Orlandini, Chairman and CEO of Cavallino Classic and Canossa Events –. During these beautiful days, Enzo and I always try to convey the values of this land. I thank all the collectors, who this year, with their 40 splendid cars, made the Concours even more precious and coveted. Their passion and care are the true engine that allows us to continue working to protect and preserve Enzo Ferrari’s heritage, especially this year, as we celebrate the 35th Anniversary of Cavallino Classic”.
The 2026 edition of Cavallino Classic Modena was made possible thanks to the support of RM Sotheby’s (Presenting Sponsor), and the Main Sponsors Riva, Bang & Olufsen, Azimut – Automobile Heritage Enhancement, and Richard Mille. Moët & Chandon served as the Official Champagne Partner. Cavallino Classic Modena will return in 2027.
