Macchinissima x Petersen
Dolce e Veloce
June 8, 2025, 9am-Noon
Dolce e Veloce honors Italy’s Festa della Repubblica and unites a vibrant community of enthusiasts, industry insiders, and collectors for a day infused with the unmistakable spirit of Italy – right here in Los Angeles.
Expect Macchinissima’s bold fusion of L.A. car culture, punk rock attitude, and Villa d’Este elegance, incredible cars from the Petersen collection, and from enthusiastic motorists like you. There will also be a pop-up piazza featuring delicious Italian food including coffee and traditional bombolini, gelato, Italo-disco DJ sets, rare and exciting vehicle curations, and exclusive must-have merchandise.
After the cruise-in, the experience shifts into high gear with a spirited 50-car rally through scenic, winding roads to Santa Paula. There, an intimate private collection tour, a beautifully catered lunch among fellow tifosi, and a fireside chat will cap off a day where automotive artistry, rich culture, and la dolce vita come together in spectacular fashion. Don’t miss this unforgettable celebration of Italy’s finest!
Equal parts Villa d’Este, punk rock, and Los Angeles, Macchinissima is the antidote to the stuffy golf course concours. The vibe is relaxed and fun. The event leads with a broad diversity in the cars and bikes we choose, and draws an audience that truly represents every corner of the SoCal car scene.
Macchinissima II is in the rear-view mirror, and it was an incredible experience for everyone who joined us. Cars, motorcycles, and bicycles, brought by enthusiasts from across the country, were placed in a setting that transported us to the Mediterranean countryside. The vibe was fresh and delicious with the aromas of authentic local Italian food from local businesses, live interactive experiences, and the sound of engines and Italo-Disco in our ears.
L.A. has a vibrant car scene, but this is an experience you will find only at Macchinissima.
