• Saturday 11 April 2026
• from 10.00 am to 12.00 pm
• CLUB MARCONI - 121-133 Prairie Vale Rd, Bossley Park NSW 2176

Amidst timeless bends and roads brimming with history, on Saturday 11 April from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm at Club Marconi in Sydney, we will celebrate the legendary "1000 Miglia" race, nearly a century after its inception, on the occasion of Made in Italy Day 2026.

A morning open to all—car enthusiasts, families, and children—to discover cars, courageous drivers, visionary manufacturers, and pioneers who have challenged the limits of possibility.

Vintage car collectors will display their vehicles in the Club Marconi forecourt. Inside, a series of 12 information panels with photos and captions will take you on a visual journey spanning eras, styles, and landscapes, because "1000 Miglia" is also a story of places: villages, hills, towns, and endless roads. A diverse and surprising Italy, revealed bend after bend.

A selection of vintage cars will then depart for Canberra to take part in the "1000 Miglia" celebrations which will be held there on Saturday and Sunday.

Come discover Italy's most exciting race with us.

This event is organised by the Consulate General of Italy in Sydney, the Italian Cultural Institute in Sydney, and Club Marconi, in collaboration with the Embassy of Italy in Canberra, Auto Italia Canberra, and the Marconi Automobile Club.

Free admission,

A Morning Tea will be offered to all participants.

The Made in Italy National Day 2026 will be celebrated worldwide the 15th April 2026. This annual event aims to promote Italian creativity and excellence by a series of activities in Italy and abroad around Italian craftsmanship and creativity. The date has been chosen to mark the anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci's birth on 15 April 1452.
