An Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale won multiple awards, including being voted the favorite of the people in attendance.

Motor1.com's team is the United States is currently feeling rather jealous of our colleagues in Italy after their return from the annual Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este over the weekend. The Italian crew can at least share a fantastic gallery of photos from the lavish event, and we are happy to show them off to you.

The show at the Villa d'Este ranks among the most opulent automotive events in the world, on par with the Pebble Beach Concours in the United States. Located on the shores of the Italian side of Lake Como, the site features a gorgeous landscape for showcasing these amazing machines.

This year, a vote among showgoers selected a 1968 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale (see more of it here) for the Coppa d’Oro del Concorso d’Eleganza di Villa d’Este award. It also won the BMW Group Italy Trophy and the ASI Trophy for the best preserved post-war vehicle. The car's owner Albert Spiess of Switzerland has three of them, which is rather impressive for a model with just an 18-unit production run.
