The vintage car rally in Casal Cermelli, blending classic engines with the hills of Alessandria
The Le Storiche d'ir Casà Vintage Car Rally is one of the most anticipated and cherished events for the community of Casal Cermelli, a town in the Province of Alessandria, in the heart of Lower Piedmont. The name itself, in the local Piedmontese dialect, means "The historic cars of Casal Cermelli" and captures the grassroots, heartfelt spirit of the event better than any description: a rally created by locals, for locals, and for all the enthusiasts arriving from the surrounding areas.
The heart of the event is the central Piazza Marconi, where the morning gathering and crew registration take place. The square fills with mirror-polished vintage cars, often featuring models that have shaped the history of Italian and European motoring. For visitors, it is the perfect opportunity to admire vehicles rarely seen on the road today, chat with the owners, and soak in the atmosphere of passion that unites different generations.
After the gathering in the square, the vehicles set off for a scenic drive along the roads and hills of the Alessandria territory. The caravan of historic cars crossing the towns and countryside of the Monferrato and the Alessandria plains is a spectacle that draws curious onlookers along the entire route. It is the moment when these "historic" cars return to doing what they were built for: traveling on the road, amidst landscapes that enhance their elegance.
The event concludes in a spirit of conviviality with a lunch prepared by the Pro Loco of Casal Cermelli, the true organizational soul of the event. Great local cuisine, awards, and a festive atmosphere make this day much more than just a rally: it is an occasion to reconnect, promote the town, and pass on the passion for historic motoring. The initiative is part of the rich calendar of events that enliven Casal Cermelli throughout the year and benefits from the collaboration of the local community and the enthusiasts of the Veteran Car Club Pietro Bordino of Alessandria, a historic reference point for vintage motoring in the Province.
