Enrico Leone Memorial Vintage Car and Motorcycle Rally
The vintage car and motorcycle rally touring the Biella valleys in memory of Enrico Leone
About Enrico Leone Memorial
A rally born from passion and remembrance
The Enrico Leone Memorial Vintage Car and Motorcycle Rally is one of the most cherished events in the calendar of Pollone, a small town in the Province of Biella, Piedmont, located at the gates of the Burcina Park. Organized by the Pro Loco of Pollone APS with the patronage of the Municipality, the rally is dedicated to the memory of Enrico Leone, a Biella entrepreneur and passionate vintage car collector who passed away on October 24, 2017. Since its first edition in 2019, the event has become a classic of the Biella spring, attracting dozens of historic cars and motorcycles with their owners every year.
Historic engines through the Biella valleys
The heart of the event is the scenic tour of the Biella valleys: a parade of vintage cars and motorcycles that, starting from Pollone, crosses the territory, touching villages, outlets, mountain huts, and characteristic local spots, amidst hills and glimpses of the Biella Alps. Past editions have included stops at the Gli Orsi shopping center in Biella, the Modesto Bertotto Outlet in Verrone, the Donkey Refuge (Rifugio degli Asinelli) in Sala Biellese, and food and wine stops, before returning to Pollone for a convivial lunch and the public exhibition of the vehicles in Piazza San Rocco and near Burcina Park.
An event with a strong spirit of solidarity
Beyond the passion for engines, the Enrico Leone Memorial stands out for its charitable vocation. The Pro Loco has repeatedly donated proceeds to solidarity initiatives: for the fifth edition, for example, 2,000 euros were donated to LILT (Italian League for the Fight Against Cancer), Reggio Emilia section, a choice also linked to the personal history of Enrico Leone and his family, who are still involved in the organization.

- Admire a traveling collection of vintage cars and motorcycles up close
- Discover the valleys and villages of the Biella region in a unique landscape setting
- Experience a day of popular celebration with an exhibition open to the public and a convivial lunch
