One of the magical qualities of Lake Como is the array of magnificent villas built by wealthy Milanese during the first half of last century, on the slopes of the mountains that descend towards the coast, of which Villa d'Este, transformed into a hotel, is by far the most famous.

Last weekend, Villa del Grumello was a true discovery, with its aristocratic appointment, “Fuoriconcorso”. Beautiful cars, beautiful people, and sublimely stylish just the way you expect it to be. Completing the surprise were the two eClassic simulators by Zagato and Pininfarina, which were tested and appreciated in the villa's environmentally friendly and decidedly beautiful greenhouse. Many beautiful cars on display, no jury, but we would like to elect our own Best of Show: the almost unknown prototype of the Lancia Stratos made by Stola in 2000.
