In recognition of Robert Cess, Marine Sciences Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Stony Brook University, whose interest in Italian automobiles, especially the Alfa Romeo, served as the inspiration and impetus for having this show initially and as a continuing annual campus event.

The Concorso d'Eleganza is a display of art forms on wheels as a means of illustrating one form of Italian culture. Various Italian car and motorcycle clubs will be represented. Display vehicles will rally at Stony Brook University campus on the lawn adjacent to the Graduate Physics Building and directly across from the Sports Complex off John S. Toll Drive. Participation and viewing is free and open to the public.
Owners of Italian automobiles interested in participating in this display, please contact Center for Italian Studies at 631-632-7444.
