Raduno d'Auto d'Epoca — Memorial Loris Costantin, Carboneri
A one-day vintage-car rally in the frazione of Carboneri each July, held in memory of Loris Costantin: classic cars gather in the piazza, set off on a tour of the Monferrato hills with a stop at a winery, and come back for lunch from the Società Agricola-Operaia and the prize-giving.
Why it's special
It's a small, friendly meeting rather than a show: in 2026 more than fifty cars took part, from a 1930s Fiat 508 Balilla and a Morgan spider to a Lancia Fulvia Sport Zagato, a Lancia Delta HF Integrale and a restored 1950s Fiat 615 tow truck.

Carboneri, a small frazione south-west of Montiglio's centre, hosts a vintage-car rally every summer in memory of Loris Costantin, a young man who was killed in a road accident. The rally reached its 7th edition in 2026, the 6th held as his memorial.
The day starts in the frazione's piazza at 9:00, where owners register and line up their cars. At about 10:30 the convoy sets off on a tour of the surrounding hills; in 2026 it stopped at the Piero Cerrano winery in nearby Murisengo for a cellar visit and a tasting. Back in Carboneri, the Società Agricola-Operaia serves lunch, and the prizes are given out in the afternoon. Over fifty cars came in 2026, from pre-war Fiats to Lancias and a restored 1950s tow truck.
The same society runs Carboneri's Sagra del fritto misto alla piemontese a couple of weeks later. Montiglio also welcomes vintage cars at the Fiera Nazionale del Tartufo in October. See what else there is in Montiglio Monferrato.
