Cavalcade Classiche recently returned for its eighth edition, bringing together 60 classic Ferraris for a driving tour that combined the Prancing Horse’s storied past with the incredible scenery of the Italian Dolomites.

The challenge stepped up a gear as the convoy ventured into the heart of the Dolomites that afternoon. Drivers navigated the winding roads of the Sciliar-Catinaccio Natural Park, as V6, V8 and V12 engines rasped and echoed off sheer rockfaces that lined the hairpins and sweeping turns. After a relaxing stop in Selva di Val Gardena below the towering vertical rock faces of the Piz Miara, a return loop brought the convoy back to Bressanone for an evening of great company and fine food.

The following day, the Cavalcade explored Alta Badia and the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Natural Park, before ascending the Giau Pass – a spectacular route often inaccessible in winter that gave drivers a chance to experience their classics on one of the world’s greatest roads. Car displays at Lake Mosigo in San Vito di Cadore and the famous resort town of Cortina d’Ampezzo provided another chance for onlookers to get up close to the Cavalcade as participants paused to reflect on the day’s driving.

The final day took in the demanding Erbe Pass, before public displays in Brunico and Novacella Abbey – the latter a 12th-century Augustinian monastery famed for its winemaking and a history of welcoming pilgrims on their journey south to Rome.

A gala dinner back in Bressanone’s Piazza Duomo gave participants time to relax and swap stories after three incredible days of driving enjoyment. But Cavalcade Classiche was more than just a regular driving tour. For enthusiasts, tourists and passers-by alike, it offered a rare chance to see, hear and experience the history of the Prancing Horse amid some of Italy’s most stunning landscapes.
