THE JURYConcorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2024
Intuition often guides us in our quest to identify beauty and elegance when something stirs within us as we gaze at an object of beauty. Yet the fact is that articulating, categorising, and appraising these qualities demands years of experience and profound expertise.
The Jurors presiding over the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este are distinguished authorities in their individual fields. They operate independently and adhere to strict guidelines as they meticulously evaluate the automobiles that have come together here from all over the world to take part in this concours of sublime importance.The elegance and heritage significance of the Historic Cars are crucial but authenticity and originality are no less important. However, the process of appraisal is by no means a matter of working through checklists and ticking boxes. Evaluation is often about taking into account the fine details and nuances that can make all the difference.
The Jury evaluates the individual Historic Cars in their classes as a team and also awards special prizes. Ultimately, the event culminates in the selection of the winner of all classes – the Best of Show. The Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este is one of the most prestigious events of its kind. Consequently, the Jury never takes its decisions lightly, notwithstanding the enchanting ambience on the idyllic shores of Lake Como.
