The curtain falls on the record edition of Parco Valentino, a widespread exhibition that grows year after year and above all increases its ability to offer enthusiasts a 360-degree view of what the car world is all about. A world made up of dream cars, historic ones, modern, prototypes and racing cars as well, but above all people, great designers and the opportunity to have had as many as 54 brands to show their latest cars and pay tribute to the myths of the past. Such an event was really missing, but the President Andrea Levy has been able to bring the city of Turin back to the center of the Italian automotive world, creating a new kind of motor show and eliminating any barrier between the public and those taking part in the numerous events, such as the Supercar Night Parade of the opening night, or the Grand Prix, tours that cross the specially reserved streets of the city, making their way through two wings of crowd.
This fifth edition also gave the occasion to celebrate important anniversaries, such as the 110 years of Bugatti, the 20 years of Pagani, the 100 of Citroen, 70 of Abarth, 60 of Mini and 30 years of the Mazda MX-5, with owners from all over the world and the well-deserved award given to the Stola family for 100 years of activity in the world of automotive design. For five days Turin has been brightened and was the undisputed fulcrum of a four-wheeled world that once again managed to show how important it is in terms of aggregation, on a cultural level and above all with a careful eye to a present and a future increasingly engaged in the search for alternative energies that can safeguard the environment and allow us to continue to enjoy these same beautiful emotions.
