Terre di Canossa Rally 2026

The extraordinary journey through the “Lands of Canossa,” along the ancient routes of the Matilde di Canossa, Queen of Italy in the 11th century, is set to return for another thrilling edition from Thursday, May 7 to Sunday, May 10, 2026.

November 4, 2025: The 2026 event will be set against the backdrop of Forte dei Marmi, the wonderful gem of Versilia. This renowned Tuscan town marks the end of the “Marble Road,” commissioned by Michelangelo Buonarroti to transport precious marble from the Apuan Alps. Its beauty and location make it the perfect starting point for Terre di Canossa 2026. Participants will stay three nights at the five-star Augustus Hotel & Resort: nestled between the coastline and the pine forests framed by the Apuan Alps, this luxury resort perfectly combines elegance and glamour. Welcome and accreditation will take place on Thursday, May 7.

The driving route will offer a unique 600 km experience through enchanting coastal scenery, untouched mountain passes, and historic villages. The three legs will explore the Tuscan hinterland, the iconic Tyrrhenian coast, and Italy’s most emblematic art cities – including Lucca and Pisa. These landscapes blend the beauty of the roads with history, art, culture, and cuisine that alone would make the trip worthwhile!

Terre di Canossa is a “supertouristic” regularity rally open to historic cars up to 1987, with some exceptions for classic cars up to 2000 and modern supercars from 2001. The event features exciting timed stages, average speed trials, and new challenges designed to test participants’ skills. But Terre di Canossa is much more than a race: it is a chance to enjoy unforgettable moments among beautiful cars, sporting spirit, and high-end tourism. It’s a gathering place for gentlemen drivers and gourmet enthusiasts, featuring exclusive evenings in unique and evocative venues, food and wine experiences blending tradition with the creativity of the region’s top chefs.

An event that embodies the essence of the Bel Paese, inviting participants to embark on an extraordinary journey celebrating the timeless passion for automobiles and Italian excellence.
