About Car Rally & Association Festival

One Sunday in May, Martinengo, a village in the Province of Bergamo, comes alive with engines of yesteryear and the colours of volunteering. The Vintage Car Rally brings dozens of vintage cars to Piazza Maggiore and the historic centre streets, featuring exhibitions, timed skill tests, and a procession through the Colleoni walls. Simultaneously, under the Colleoni arcades in Via Tadino, the Association and Volunteer Festival takes place, showcasing the social organisations of the area.

Vintage Engines in the Historic Centre

The Vintage Car Rally in Martinengo is an event dedicated to enthusiasts of vintage engines, historic vehicles, and automotive tradition. It takes place in the charming historic centre of the Municipality, in the Province of Bergamo, between Piazza Maggiore and the arcaded streets that tell the story of the village's Colleoni past. Exhibitions, convivial moments, and processions make the day an opportunity to experience the passion for historic cars in a setting of great charm.

The Association Festival

Held concurrently with the car rally is the Association and Volunteer Festival, hosted under the Colleoni arcades in Via Tadino. It serves as a showcase for the numerous local associations, which present their activities and social commitment, blending automotive passion with community life.

A Village with a Strong Identity

Martinengo owes much of its identity to Bartolomeo Colleoni, the condottiero who made it one of his fiefs and left his mark on the historic centre's architecture, from the arcades to the fortifications. It is within this scenery that the vintage cars move, creating a fascinating contrast between history and mechanics.
