Modena, 22 April 2025 – In a dazzling celebration of Italian automotive heritage and la dolce vita, Maserati will take centre stage at the inaugural Anantara Concorso Roma 2025. This premier event, dedicated to the splendour of classic cars, unfolds from 24 to 27 April against the majestic backdrop of Rome’s Piazza della Repubblica and Villa Borghese – a fitting setting for an event steeped in art, elegance and engineering.
At the heart of Maserati’s presence is the illustrious A6GCS-53 Berlinetta Pininfarina, a rare and revered jewel in the crown of Italian motoring. Showcased with pride at the prestigious Casina Valadier, nestled in the leafy grandeur of Villa Borghese, the Berlinetta will embody the perfect synthesis of racing spirit and refined design – a masterpiece that not only defined an era but helped shape the evolution of the modern GT car.
A Legend Revisited
Produced between 1954 and 1955, the A6GCS-53 Berlinetta Pininfarina emerged as an evolution of the open-top, single-headlight A6G.CS – a race-bred two-seater that had already proven its mettle on the track. The new Berlinetta, however, was more than just a refined racer. With its powerful in-line six-cylinder engine enhanced by a twin-cam cylinder head, it delivered an impressive 170 CV and could reach speeds up to 235 km/h.
Its flowing bodywork – penned by none other than Battista “Pinin” Farina – was first revealed at the 1954 Turin Motor Show, and marked a turning point in Italian automotive design. It seamlessly fused competition engineering with grand touring grace, paving the way for the development of the A6G-54: a roadgoing GT that reimagined performance for the everyday connoisseur.
Today, only a handful of A6GCS-53 Berlinettas remain, each one an artifact of passion, performance, and craftsmanship – and none more revered than the one on display at Anantara Concorso Roma.
Celebrating Heritage with Maserati Classiche
The debut of Anantara Concorso Roma offers Maserati the ideal platform to highlight its Classiche programme – an initiative born from the marque’s dedication to preserving and championing its unique heritage. Through a meticulous process of authentication, restoration and certification, Maserati Classiche ensures that the soul of the Trident’s most iconic creations endures for generations.
For collectors and enthusiasts alike, the programme is an invitation to become custodians of history – supported by a brand that understands the emotional and mechanical legacy behind every chassis number.
A Weekend Devoted to Elegance and Emotion
While the A6GCS-53 Berlinetta is undoubtedly the crown jewel of Maserati’s showcase, the brand’s presence at the Concorso extends far beyond nostalgia. A Maserati GranCabrio Trofeo – the epitome of contemporary Italian open-air performance – will grace the entrance of the Anantara Palazzo Naiadi, offering guests a striking juxtaposition of past and present.
Moreover, a fleet of Maserati Grecale SUVs and GranCabrio models will serve as elegant courtesy vehicles, transporting attendees between central Rome and the serene lakeside beauty of Castel Gandolfo – reinforcing Maserati’s commitment to craftsmanship, comfort and performance in every era.
An Itinerary of Immersion
The Anantara Concorso Roma 2025 promises a sensory journey into the world of automotive artistry. The itinerary includes:

An Ode to Italian Excellence
In the eternal city where history whispers from every stone and style is second nature, Maserati’s presence at the Anantara Concorso Roma 2025 is not merely participation – it is a statement. A tribute to timeless design, relentless innovation and an unwavering belief that cars can be more than machines. They can be moving works of art.
As Rome prepares to host this celebration of automotive nobility, the Trident once again reminds the world: true beauty is eternal, and true performance is born in Modena.
