Cortile della Corsa

Weekend July 19/20, 2025

Italian Cortile at the PVGP

The Cortile della Corsa has been described as the crown jewels of the car show at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix.  Cortile is Italian for “Courtyard” and it’s befitting the name because of the gorgeous Italian vehicles 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, among others.

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 on July 19/20, 2025. Enjoy the entire weekend at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, which overlooks the car shows on the Schenley Park Golf Course.

2022 PVGP Cortile

The Italian Cortile History

At the 2008 running of The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, “All Italian Cars” were featured as the “Marque of the Year” We had an overwhelming response! But there was no local car club and no local dealers to manage an all Italian car show. So, as a direct result, in 2009 the PVGP introduced “The Cortile”, a very unique, opulent area befitting the gorgeous Italian gems that participate. The Cortile is a PVGP run event and not a club event which makes it rather unique from many of the other car shows that occur over the Grand Prix weekend.

Now in it’s 12th year, the Cortile is a two-day car show of All Italian cars, all makes and ages are welcome. Be sure to mark your calendar and come and enjoy the weekend at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix overlooking the International car show on the Schenley Park Golf Course. It should be a spectacular weekend.
