One could argue that there was a lot of demand, but only a little.
Italy was among the worst-hit countries at the start of the pandemic. It was also one the first countries to stop their economy and wait for COVID-19’s course to take its place. It has. At least in Italy, where the number of cases per day has dropped to a trickle after a peak of almost 1,000 in March, COVID-19 has run its course. Now that the shutters on their country chateaus have been opened and they can step outside, many Italians want to drive.
Our friends at Canossa Events Their first car rally since reopening operations was sold out in record time of two weeks. Although it isn’t as fast as selling out tickets for Beyonce’s concert in the States here, it is remarkable when you consider the entry cost at EUR2,300 per person or more than $2,500 USD. This rally is known as the Stella Alpina . It is an adrenaline-fueled three-day adventure through the Dolomites of Italy, which are UNESCO World Heritage sites. Around 70 cars will attend the rally, mainly from Europe. (Sorry Americans! We need to wear more masks before we can participate). There are 40 Ferraris as well as 30 other classic cars. The main attraction is driving the Dolomites’ hairpin bends. However, the event organizers at Canossa will coordinate the delicious Italian food and hospitality.
