A significant leap in quality marked the 2025 edition of Auto e Moto d’Epoca, the Bologna exhibition that is slowly regaining its original emotional spaces, just like when it was held in Padua.
Many more stands dedicated exclusively to vintage cars, more space for racing vehicles, and a fantastic exhibition of approximately 40 Formula 1 cars spanning every era: from the early championships of the 1950s to the latest, hyper-modern cars of today.
The stands were much better organized; we no longer saw spaces packed with cars like a parking lot. We can therefore say that the quality of the entire event has significantly improved.
Some of the exhibits were not numerous, but of extremely high quality: among them, a very rare 1964 Elva McLaren MK1, and Micky Biasion's Lancia Delta S4, present at the fair along with former Formula 1 champion Thierry Boutsen.
ASI also received ample attention, with the historic handshake, after many years, between its president Alberto Scuro and the new president of ACI Geronimo La Russa. This handshake, it is hoped, will be a harbinger of a future where the two major Italian institutions dedicated to classic cars can finally collaborate and pursue shared goals of great prestige.
Also noteworthy are the three cars brought by Ebimotors Classic, which maintained the extremely high standard of the cars on display.
