About Rally of Masi Torello

Every year, at the beginning of June, Masi Torello hosts the Vintage Car Rally organised by the Club Officina Ferrarese del Motorismo Storico, affiliated with A.S.I. Dozens of historic cars gather in the small municipality of the Province of Ferrara for a road itinerary that crosses the interprovincial territory between Emilia-Romagna and lower Veneto, with cultural and gastronomic stops. An event of passion and tradition that for over twenty-five years has united collectors, enthusiasts, and the curious under the banner of "engines from yesteryear".

A Rally of Historic Engines in the Heart of the Ferrara Lowlands

The Vintage Car Rally of Masi Torello is one of the most anticipated events for historic motoring enthusiasts in the Province of Ferrara. Organised by the Club Officina Ferrarese del Motorismo Storico, an association affiliated with the Italian Historic Car and Motorcycle Club (A.S.I.), the rally takes place every year at the beginning of June in the small municipality of Masi Torello, in Emilia-Romagna, attracting dozens of vintage cars from all over the region.

Culture, Flavours, and Engines from Yesteryear

True to the motto "Culture, flavours, and engines from yesteryear", the event is not a simple static exhibition but a real road itinerary. Starting from the square in front of the Piero Zanardi Nursery School, on Viale Adriatico, the historic cars cover about eighty kilometres along the most scenic roads of the interprovincial territory between Ferrara, Bologna, and Modena, carefully chosen to protect the mechanics of the more delicate vehicles.

Stops at Farm Stays, Balsamic Vinegar Producers, and Castles

The route includes cultural and gastronomic stops that change from year to year: from the official breakfast in San Matteo della Decima to guided tours of balsamic vinegar producers and farm stays in the Modenese area, to historic residences in lower Veneto. It's an opportunity to discover the local food and wine heritage, from Sorbara balsamic vinegar to the typical products of the Po Valley.

A Tradition Over Twenty-Five Years Old

Meticulously curated by Carlo Grelewski, the historic soul of the Club, the rally is now a well-established tradition that also involves the Pro Loco and the municipal administration of Masi Torello. Each edition attracts numerous citizens along the town's streets, drawn by the timeless charm of cars that have made the history of Italian and European motoring.

An Event for Enthusiasts and Families

  • Exhibition and parade of historic cars registered with A.S.I.
  • Panoramic itinerary through Emilia-Romagna and lower Veneto
  • Cultural stops and tastings of local products
  • Convivial lunch at a farm stay

An event that combines a passion for vintage engines with the promotion of the territory and the traditions of the Ferrara lowlands.
