The Cortile

July 23-24, 2022

Ciao!

The Cortile della Corsa has been described as the crown jewels of the car shows at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. Cortile is Italian for “Courtyard” and it’s befitting the name because of the gorgeous Italian vehicles that sit in front of The Pittsburgh Golf Club promontory.

The Cortile features the best of Italian design, with sports cars from Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Fiat, Lancia, Lamborghini and Maserati to name but a few

Saturday at the Grand Prix is when the Cortile Cup is awarded for best in show and for each Italian Marque.

On Sunday, the Car Show Participants move to the Westinghouse Pond VIP Area for “Wine on Nine” to watch the racers negotiate the exciting hairpin at Turn 9.

All Italian cars, all makes and ages, are welcome to the annual Cortile Italian Car Show July 23-24, 2022. Enjoy the entire weekend at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix overlooking the car shows on the Schenley Park Golf Course.

"...Then there are the events that subscribers SHOULD anticipate, know about, attend and afterwards fail to let go of. We’ve become enamored with events like the Crescent Classic, Keeneland Concours, the French Quarter Classic (on hiatus) and the latest entry to this wonderful list… The Italian Cortile at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix" ~Chad Ensz, Ferrari Market Letter, August 2011

"Fantastic event in every respect. It's rare to find such an all inclusive auto event . . . open to the public, all marques, beautiful city park, reasonably priced, well organized, worthy charity. It just doesn't get any better from a motorhead's point of view. Bernie and his crew just keep making it better every year."
