The cold and bad weather didn't stop the oldest cars, the pre-war, the ones which the event was dedicated for.

A 15 cars from the 20s and 30s were arrived at the Vittoriale where they were displayed in the small square near the entrance of the Vittoriale granted by the Municipality.

The participants were accepted by the president of the Fondazione il Vittoriale degli Italiani Giordano Bruno Guerri and they visit the historic residence of the Vate, the park and the new museum "L'Automobile è femmina" where the Fiat Tipo 4 and the very elegant Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8 of D'Annunzio are.
