GranMotori 2027: Rome’s New Motoring Festival Moves to March 19-21

Legendary cars and motorcycles on track among the vineyards of Tenuta di Fiorano

Update, September 29, 2026

GranMotori has been postponed. Due to additional requirements at the historic venue, the festival will now take place from March 19 to 21, 2027, at Tenuta di Fiorano.

GranMotori, a new festival for motoring fans and anyone curious about Italian design, makes its debut in Rome this October. From October 15 to 18, Tenuta di Fiorano, a private estate that has never been open to visitors before, will welcome collectors, designers, engineers, drivers and enthusiasts for a program built around cinema, design, heritage and motorsport. The festival opens to the public on October 16.

It starts on October 15 with an invitation-only preview at the estate, which belongs to the Boncompagni Ludovisi family, one of Italy’s oldest noble houses. Tenuta di Fiorano lies inside the Appia Antica Regional Park, among vineyards, centuries-old trees and archaeological remains.

The idea behind GranMotori is to show cars alongside the country that created them and turned them into culture, the Italian way: through people, food, art and places. Here, a rare Cisitalia might share the stage with a plate of cacio e pepe, and a Lancia Stratos with a Fellini film.

“GranMotori grew out of a simple question: how is it possible that a country that helped write the history of the car and the motorcycle still doesn’t have its own international festival dedicated to motoring? We wanted to create a place where people, stories and passion come even before the cars, combining an international vision with a deeply Italian character and building a community that will live on well beyond the three days of the festival.”

Silvia and Mauro Dorigo, Co-Founders of GranMotori

And since this is a motoring festival, speed gets its space too. The cars and motorcycles taking part will run on a dedicated track of about 1.4 km, built inside the estate among the hills and vineyards.

The festival program

The festival is organized into four sections: Reels & Wheels, dedicated to cinema and visual culture; Next, dedicated to design and innovation; Icons, dedicated to heritage and craftsmanship; and Limitless, dedicated to motorsport and passion. This first edition also celebrates three key anniversaries in Italian motoring history: 60 years of the Alfa Romeo Duetto, 100 years of Carrozzeria Touring and 120 years of the Targa Florio.

Some of the cars on show are attractions in their own right. The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Prototype, one of very few ever built and valued at more than €10 million, will be one of the most important pieces in the collection, together with the Alfa Romeo C52 Disco Volante, the famous concept car with its “flying saucer” shape, built in very small numbers and still one of the most photographed cars in Alfa Romeo’s history. There will also be a Cisitalia 202 SMM, twin of the car Tazio Nuvolari drove to second place overall in the 1947 Mille Miglia.

The Group B era will be represented by three Lancia legends: the Stratos, 037 Safari and Delta S4. A Ferrari F40 and a Vespa made famous by Roman Holiday complete a selection that spans more than a century, from the 1902 FIAT 12/16 HP to the current Ferrari Purosangue.

For the first time, judges from two of the world’s most prestigious motoring events will come together for a new festival: Richard Adatto, a judge at Pebble Beach, and Lorenzo Ramaciotti, President of the Jury at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este.

The festival will also host a special contest for fans of scale modeling, cinema and cars, with five participants building ten dioramas inspired by some of the most famous car scenes in film history.

In all, more than 200 cars and motorcycles will cover the full arc of Italian motoring culture: classic cars, youngtimers, supercars and collector cars, running on the track in timed races, parades and dynamic displays. Professional drivers including Federica Levi, Dario Costa and Roberto Di Giuseppe will be behind the wheel.

Off the track, the paddock hosts ACI regularity races, and a freestyle motocross show runs four times a day. If you want to try driving yourself, there’s a simulator, included in the ticket. The Wheel Theatre hosts talks and live conversations on the future of mobility, and street food comes from the team behind Taste of Roma. The festival is designed for different kinds of visitors: enthusiasts who come for the paddock and the stories of those who built and drove these cars, newcomers discovering motoring through design and cinema, and families.

Andy Warhol, Forever Love: the Exhibition in Rome at La Vaccheria

At La Vaccheria in Rome’s EUR district, from 10 September 2026 to 28 March 2027, over 50 works spanning canvases, photographs and documents trace the story behind the Pop Art myth. Free entry.

Andy Warhol – Forever Love is the retrospective that, from 10 September 2026 to 28 March 2027, turns the La Vaccheria exhibition centre in Rome’s EUR district into the Home of Pop Art, with a tribute to the undisputed master of the movement.

Curated by Gianfranco Rosini, who met the artist in Rome in 1975, the show grows out of a personal and privileged account of Warhol’s world. It is not only a selection of iconic works, but a journey through the art, encounters, friendships, photographs, documents, travels and memories that reveal the American artist in his human dimension as much as his creative one. Rosini built a close relationship with Warhol and his circle, one that stayed with him throughout his own personal and artistic path.

Andy Warhol – Forever Love takes an unusual angle: it tells the Warhol “myth” through his most celebrated works, but also through the material that brings us closer to the man, to the people around him and to the remarkable artistic and cultural season he helped define in those years of ferment for both the economy and the arts.

The exhibition

On display are 51 works by Andy Warhol, more than 60 documents on his life and 37 works by other leading Pop artists, alongside canvases, photographs, objects, books and assorted memorabilia. The documents trace Warhol’s life from childhood and school diplomas to his correspondence with figures such as Mick Jagger, Truman Capote and Elizabeth Taylor, down to personal papers and materials tied to his practice.

Among the pieces on show are the celebrated portrait of Regina Schrecker, painted by Warhol in 1983, portraits of Liza Minnelli, works dedicated to Marilyn Monroe, the Campbell’s Soup cans, the Dollar Sign, the Candy Box (Heart) and the Kiku, as well as portraits of international art figures such as Joseph Beuys and Man Ray.

Particularly telling is the homage to Paolo Uccello, a Warholian reworking of a detail from Saint George and the Dragon: an ideal meeting between the Renaissance and Pop Art, between images of the past and contemporary icons, and a nod to the history of Italian art.

Photography also plays a central role, through the work of Dino Pedriali, the artist and photographer who was Warhol’s main assistant and documented key moments of his Italian and European years. The show presents 28 original photographs linked to the Roman season of Ladies and Gentlemen and Drag Queen, and to the professional and personal bond between Pedriali and Warhol.

Rounding out the exhibition, in the Mirror Room, is the video work Female Beauty – Warhol and the Feminine Universe, curated by Giuliano Gasparotti and Francesco Mazzei, with an original score by Maestro Furio Valitutti for KIF Italia.

Practical information

Entry is free. Opening hours are Tuesday to Thursday from 9am to 1pm, and Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 7pm, closed on Mondays. La Vaccheria is in the EUR district, at Via Giovanni L’Eltore 35. By public transport, take metro line B to Laurentina or EUR Palasport and continue by bus, or take bus lines 070, 700 and 709 to the Colombo/Pacifico stop.

Mario Schifano Exhibition at Palazzo delle Esposizioni

A journey through the works of one of the most popular artists of twentieth-century Italy.

At Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome, visitors can explore, until July 12, a major retrospective dedicated to Mario Schifano, one of the most significant and popular figures in Italian art of the second half of the twentieth century.

The exhibition, curated by Daniela Lancioni, brings together more than 100 works from Italian and international public and private collections, arranged in chronological order in the museum’s large ground-floor rotunda and the seven adjoining rooms.

A journey through the artist’s imagination, from the informal, richly textured works of the 1950s to the first monochromes of the following decade, including iconic paintings that revisit major movements in art history that came before him, as in the case of the Futurists.

The 1980s saw works inspired by the language of television and cinema take center stage in his practice, while the 1990s were devoted to themes of social emergency.

Mario Schifano dared and experimented: the exhibition highlights his innovations, underscoring the complexity of his work and its strong connection to the contemporary world, and beyond. His pictorial research, often ahead of its time, always remained aware of the importance of the artistic legacy of the past. His style reveals an exuberant and ongoing regeneration of painting through the use of highly diverse techniques, materials and processes.

Il nòcciolo tenero e sensibilissimo del suo animo è la passione per la pittura.

Cesare Vivaldi, critic and poet, on Mario Schifano in 1963.

After the retrospective exhibitions dedicated to Cesare Tacchi, Jim Dine, Don McCullin, Boris Mikhailov and Carla Accardi, Palazzo delle Esposizioni continues its exhibition program aimed at highlighting figures and movements that have significantly shaped Italian visual culture since the mid-twentieth century, with particular attention to the city of Rome.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a rich program of educational and entertainment activities. Of particular interest is the free-admission film series Al cinema di Schifano, featuring screenings of films made by the artist in the museum’s cinema hall. Throughout the exhibition route, visitors will also be able to watch the short films Schifano created over the course of his career.

From Vienna to Rome. Habsburg Masterpieces from the Kunsthistorisches Museum

More than 50 masterpieces from the Vienna museum celebrating a remarkable chapter of European art and history.

The rooms of the Museo del Corso at Palazzo Cipolla will host, until July 5, the highly anticipated exhibition From Vienna to Rome: Habsburg Treasures from the Kunsthistorisches Museum, a journey through art and history that is also a dynastic portrait, emblematic of the splendor of the Empire and the cultural ambition of the Habsburgs.

Promoted and produced by the Fondazione Roma in collaboration with the Kunsthistorisches Museum (KHM), the exhibition, curated by Cäcilia Bischoff, brings together more than 50 masterpieces commissioned between the 16th and 19th centuries by key figures of the House of Habsburg, offering a portrait of an empire that used art as a powerful instrument of cultural representation, the dissemination of knowledge, and dialogue between civilizations.

The exhibition route

The exhibition opens with a room dedicated to the architecture of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, the monumental building designed by Gottfried Semper and Carl Hasenauer and inaugurated in 1891 as part of the major urban plan commissioned by Emperor Franz Joseph I. The museum is placed in dialogue with Palazzo Cipolla, the Roman venue hosting the exhibition, through the figure of its architect Antonio Cipolla, who was active during the same decades.

The rest of the exhibition celebrates, through distinct sections, European painting between the 16th and 17th centuries, presented through its main genres and geographic origins: Flemish, Dutch, German, and finally Italian.

The great representatives of Flemish art are present with works characterized by intense colors, where nature takes center stage, as in the floral explosion of irises and butterflies by Jan Brueghel the Elder.

While the section dedicated to 17th-century Dutch painting focuses on genre scenes drawn from everyday life, a subject particularly favored by the bourgeois and Protestant society of the time, the German section draws inspiration from the precious Renaissance legacy of Lucas Cranach, a key figure in shaping an autonomous artistic language characterized by strong stylization and an exceptional mastery of line and drawing.

The innermost rooms of the exhibition maze are devoted to objects from the Kunstkammer, the celebrated Renaissance cabinets of curiosities: a collection of natural oddities and creations of human ingenuity, intended to astonish and delight the eyes of the visitor.

Over the course of more than three centuries, Habsburg collecting led to the acquisition of extraordinary works that reflected the tastes of different patrons, yet were all united by a single common thread: excellence. Above all stands Diego Velázquez, with his portrait of Infanta Margarita in a blue dress, an iconic work of court portraiture. The precise, almost severe rendering of the child’s clothing and hairstyle is softened by the youthful blush of her cheeks and the emotional and psychological intensity of her gaze.

Italian painting holds an important place in the Viennese collection. On display are masterpieces by Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese, Orazio Gentileschi, Guido Cagnacci, and even a stunning Caravaggio.

The Rest on the Flight into Egypt by Orazio Gentileschi is a family portrait of striking realism, depicting Saint Joseph lying awkwardly asleep from exhaustion while the Virgin nurses the infant Jesus, whose gaze is directed toward the viewer, a device often used in painting to draw the spectator into the scene.

In Mars, Venus and Cupid by Titian, the soft, rosy nude of the goddess of love, a symbol of seduction and surrender to pleasure, contrasts with the pale, moonlike coldness of the lifeless body of Cleopatra in Guido Cagnacci’s painting, lost in the sleep of death after the bite of the asp, still coiled around her arm, under the desperate gaze of her attendants.

Last but not least, the final room comes as a surprise thanks to the presence of Caravaggio’s Crowning with Thorns, one of the masterpieces of the exhibition. It is a dramatic scene, rendered with an almost photographic composition and marked by the masterful use of light and shadow, in which a suffering Christ, noble and strikingly beautiful, is at the mercy of two male figures, crude and brutal both in appearance and gesture. On the left, a knight in 17th-century armor, contemporary to the painter, watches the scene almost as if he were in a theater, with his hand resting on the edge of the frame, symbolically invading the viewer’s space in a perspectival game that blurs the boundary between art and reality.

Agnès Varda. Here and there, Paris-Rome

Villa Medici is honouring the photographic work of the artist and filmmaker Agnès Varda

From February 25 to May 25, 2026, the French Academy in Rome – Villa Medici pays tribute to the photographic work of artist and filmmaker Agnès Varda with the first major retrospective dedicated to her in Italy. Here, the photographer and the filmmaker in Varda come into dialogue through 130 original prints, film excerpts, publications, documents, posters, set photographs, and objects that belonged to the artist.

The exhibition also brings together works by several other artists: Giancarlo Botti, Michaële Buisson, Alexander Calder, Martine Franck, Dominique Genty, JR, Liliane de Kermadec, Michèle Laurent, Claude Nori, Laurent Sully-Jaulmes, Robert Picard, Valentine Schlegel, Collier Schorr.

The exhibition route

At the heart of the exhibition is the courtyard-studio on rue Daguerre, a place of life, creation, and experimentation for Agnès Varda for nearly seven decades, inseparable from her work. Used as a photo studio, a photographic lab, and the venue of her first exhibition in 1954, it was later shared with her partner, filmmaker Jacques Demy. From this space, the beating heart of her universe, the exhibition then unfolds into the artist’s travel experiences in Italy, from Venice to Rome, through Renaissance villas and gardens and on film sets.

The photographs and film excerpts on display highlight her unconventional gaze, tinged with humor and singularity: from her early work in her Paris atelier to her first steps into cinema, which placed her close to the Nouvelle Vague, from images focused on women’s themes and those living on the margins to her travel reportages.

arrondissement, 1957, © Succession Agnès Varda

Agnès Varda had a deep connection with Italy, highlighted here through a selection of previously unseen photographs taken during two stays: in Venice in 1959 and again in 1963. She traveled to the lagoon city while scouting filming locations for La Mélangite (ou Les Amours de Valentin), a film that was never completed. Her photographs capture her discovery of Italy and her taste for the picturesque, playing with shadows and contrasts.

It was during this trip that she created one of her famous self-portraits in front of a painting by Gentile Bellini, humorously playing with the hairstyle that would later become her signature.

In May 1963, the French magazine Réalités commissioned her to photograph Luchino Visconti, newly awarded the Palme d’Or for The Leopard. She then headed to Rome with three cameras: beyond the celebrated director, Varda also crossed paths with Jean-Luc Godard, who was in the same period filming Contempt at the Titanus studios.

The exhibition, the result of extensive research, draws on Agnès Varda’s photographic archive, as well as the archives of Ciné-Tamaris, the production company she founded, now run by her children Rosalie Varda and Mathieu Demy.

Zanabazar at Galleria Borghese: From Mongolia to Global Baroque

The exhibition features two extraordinary works from Mongolia, celebrating the dialogue between East and West.

From 20 January to 22 February 2026, Borghese Gallery offers visitors a unique opportunity to admire works usually kept tens of thousands of kilometres away, brought together for the first time as expressions of the same historical moment. In collaboration with Turin’s Museum of Oriental Art, the museum will present two extraordinary works by Mongolian artist Zanabazar, creating an original dialogue between East and West under the banner of global Baroque.

Zanabazar was the spiritual name of EshidorJi, born into the noble lineage of Genghis Khan. Born in the heart of the Asian steppe, he lived in the 17th century and was revered as the reincarnation of one of the Buddha’s five hundred original disciples.

A spiritual leader of extraordinary charisma, Zanabazar was also a brilliant linguist and, above all, the greatest Mongolian sculptor of the modern era. He and his disciples produced works deeply inspired by journeys and stays in Tibetan monasteries, revered as sacred objects in places of worship and in the temples he founded across Mongolia. Among these, the representations of Tara stand out for their exceptional aesthetic value: feminine manifestations of the Buddha, deities associated with protection, liberation, and the inner states of being.

Zanabazar succeeded in spreading Buddhism across Mongolia on an unprecedented scale, making it accessible to ordinary believers.

Zanabazar was a contemporary of Bernini: both left an indelible mark on their respective cultures, one in Europe, the other in Asia. Each introduced new artistic languages, developing innovative visions and original methods to reinterpret traditional themes and subjects, creating models that would profoundly influence generations to come. Two distant worlds, one creative force capable of changing the course of art history.

The two works on display, a refined Green Tara and a bronze self-portrait sculpture of Zanabazar seated on a throne, come from the Chinggis Khaan National Museum in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, and are presented to the public in a context of dialogue and comparison unlike any before. This is the first time Zanabazar’s works have reached Europe, and for the first time ever, visitors to a Western museum can experience these masterpieces and appreciate their aesthetic and formal affinity with our own artistic heritage, marking a unique encounter full of potential.
