This year’s edition pays tribute to the famous Italian architect Gaeaulenti (1927-2012), who was born near Trieste and is renowned for representing Italian design and architecture around the world, with works in Europe, America and Asia. According to the event programme, the supercars will leave Venice on the morning of Friday 20 September and arrive at Portopiccolo, Trieste, after a journey of about 200 kilometres.

More than 30 Lamborghini will gather this weekend

The Elegance Contest will take place on Saturday morning from 8:30 until noon, against the striking backdrop of the village, where the participating cars will be judged by a select group of international judges who are lovers of beauty and true connoisseurs of Lamborghini models from every era.

To celebrate Gaeaulenti’s creative genius, the inspiration for this year’s contests, the square in front of the Portopiccolo harbour will be transformed into an open-air museum showcasing various objects related to his projects. Lamborghini drivers will arrive at Piazza Unità d’Italia at lunchtime, and in the afternoon they will return along the famous climb of the Trieste-Opicina hill road.

The first edition of the Lamborghini & Design was held in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, in 2017, giving participants a first-hand look at the work of Le Corbusier, one of the most important architects and designers of the 20th century. The Lamborghini Polo Storico, launched in 2015, is the Automobili Lamborghini department dedicated to preserving the history of the house of Sant’Agata Bolognese.

Its activities include the restoration and certification of all Lamborghini produced up to 2001, as well as the reconstruction of spare parts for classic Lamborghini, for which more than 200 new part codes were introduced in 2018 alone. Polo Storico also preserves and manages the company’s archives to support the conservation of all the classic Lamborghini.
