There are rallies that test you, rallies that impress you, and rallies that charm you. Then there is Terre di Canossa—the one that keeps pulling me back. This May, 7-10, marked my fourth time running in the event, and somewhere between the Ligurian coastline and the Apennine passes, I realized it has quietly become my favorite Italian motoring experience.

Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti 2014

The Coppa d’Oro for historic cars has usually been held at the end of August, but for organizational reasons, it has been moved to mid-July.

The result was gorgeous from the weather point of view, and all the participants enjoyed the wonderful sights of the Dolomites, going from Cortina to Merano and then back to Cortina going up and down through many “Passi Dolomitici”.

Unfortunately the number of participants was also very low (about 50 cars at the start and 40 at the arrival) and also the “quality” if compared with the editions of few years ago. This year there was only one Bugatti, one Ferrari, no Maseratis, a few interesting Alfas and Lancias. There were many English cars on hand.

Of course this is a trend which is common to all the “oldtimer” races, but we enthusiasts feel we are missing the sight of those lovely old cars idled in garages.
