The world of collecting never stops, even in the face of harsh winter temperatures. Welcome to the first installment of #RUBRICAR, the exclusive column brought to you by @vintaagecar and @epocar.official in collaboration with collezionismoauto.it. Every month, we will take you on a journey through Italy, region by region, to discover the rallies, swap meets, and competitions that keep the passion for vintage two and four wheels alive. Let’s start on the right foot: here is the complete guide for February 2026.
Northern Italy: Between Alpine Snow and Track Adrenaline
Northern Italy opens the month with a perfect mix of elegance and competition. In Valle d’Aosta, February is a month of activity for CAMEVA and the Porsche Sci Club Italia, with spontaneous gatherings in the snows of Courmayeur—ideal for those wanting to test vintage traction on icy surfaces. Also, remember that this is the final deadline for early-bird registration for the Cisalpina Classic Race.

In Piedmont and Liguria, all eyes are on the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique: Turin will host the departure of approximately 60 crews, while the mountain passes of Imperia will see icons like the Lancia Stratos parade by. Liguria also revs its engines with the Ronde della Val Merula in Andora and the elegant Auto Storiche in Albaro event.

Moving to Lombardy, the schedule is packed: from the 90th Mostra Scambio di Novegro (February 13-15), a paradise for parts seekers, to the 34th International Rally dei Laghi in Varese. For the more daring, we highlight the Sa’ Ncüle la Nef rally on Lake Iseo. In Veneto, the highlight is the Racing Meeting in Vicenza, created by Miki Biasion, alongside the charming swap meet Due Ruote nella Storia in Piazzola sul Brenta.

Central Italy: Mechanical Culture and Regularity Trials
Emilia Romagna celebrates speed with the Old Time Show in Forlì, dedicated this year to the Mercedes-Benz legend, and the Due Tempi Bei Tempi event for lovers of 80s and 90s youngtimers. In Tuscany, Florence remains a central hub with the Car Bazar at Visarno (boot sales) and gatherings at Piazzale Michelangelo, while in Cecina, drivers can sharpen their techniques at the Scuola di Regolarità (Regularity School).

In Umbria, the Magione Circuit offers several Open Pit Lane days, while those who prefer modern aesthetics can head to the Gherlinda Tuning Day. The Marche region responds with the off-road Marche Umbria Raid and the regularity trial “Una domenica a Gualdo,” which kicks off the 2026 Regional Championship.
Lazio confirms its status as a landmark for Central-Southern collecting with the historic Mostra Scambio di Sora at the end of the month, along with the usual, highly anticipated Roman appointments at Piazzale Asia (EUR) on February 22 and Piazzale Ankara on February 8.

South and Islands: Records and Mediterranean Traditions
Abruzzo warms up with the Festa del Socio – Hereditas Sandri in Tortoreto and the interesting Adventure Roadbook Bootcamp in Alanno for navigation enthusiasts. In Molise, automotive culture passes through Agnone with CSAM, while in Isernia, activities resume at the local karting track.
Campania focuses on international quality with the WSK Super Master Series in Sarno, but doesn’t forget the charm of boxy lines with the I Love 80s & 90s rally in Naples and a preview of Auto Moto Napoli Expo. In Puglia, the fixed meeting point for February Sundays remains the fascinating setting of Porta Napoli in Lecce.

Finally, Sicily hosts the record-breaking event of the month: on February 22 in Agrigento, over 60 Porsches will parade through the columns of the Valley of the Temples—an unprecedented gathering for the island, organized by Dario Pellerito.
