The Coppa della Perugina 2023 will be held from May 11-14: a grand car race across Umbria, region of cultural, food and wine traditions, of art villages and towns. Chocolate is obviously one of the major highlights. This May event is an absolute must. Let’s have a look at the programme for Coppa della Perugina 2023.
Coppa della Perugina: the race
The Coppa della Perugina began in the ’20s with Giovanni Buitoni, the owner of the Perugina company. Over the years the Coppa (‘Cup’) has become an actual car race at a revival event where historical cars compete for the finish line.
Registration and final ranking
Currently no more than 100 historical cars built before1965 may partake, 20 of which with open top dating back to 1930. In fact there are two final rankings: one for cars from the twenties and one for cars built after the thirties.
