The 2023 edition of Concorso Italiano will see the awarding of Monica Zanetti's career with the "La Bella Macchina" Award and her initiation into the Concorso Hall of Fame. Monica Zanetti, also known as "Lady F40", made history in the automotive industry as the first female mechanic and coachbuilder to join the Ferrari team. Her pioneering contribution opened new avenues in the automotive world, and continues today with her work at the Scuderia Belle Epoque: a vintage car and Formula One restoration workshop.

Monica Zanetti will be present at the 2023 edition of the Concorso Italiano together with Pietro Corradini, historic F1 mechanic, Rossana Guicciardi and the entrepreneur Pietro Ferrari, partner of Belle Epoque, present as Pavillon Sponsor.

Following the announcement, Monica Zanetti replied: "It is a great honor for me to receive this recognition from Concorso Italiano, an event that I have admired for years and that I will finally have the opportunity to experience as a protagonist. I thank the President Tom McDowell and Raffaello Porro for thinking of me."

The painter Alessandro Rasponi will also participate with them, bringing one of his collections on display and painting live on site.

Valentina Fiorillo was chosen as creator for the Valentino Balboni Award 2023, an award intended for the owner of the most beautiful Lamborghini exhibited at Concorso and given to the winner by Valentino Balboni himself.

The thirty-eighth edition of the Concorso Italiano will be held on August 19, 2023 from 9:00am to 4:30pm at Bayonet Black Horse Golf Club in Monterey, California, during the Monterey Car Week.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
