Events
The Lancia community is spread around the world, but is a small one. Many Lancia owners know other ones, and stay in touch regularly. For those of us not in Europe, we build our own communities of fellow owners. The two largest gatherings are the Sliding Pillar in Europe and Castlemaine in Australia. In addition, the Registro Aurelia holds gatherings in Italy every year. Other events happen in the US, Italy, England, and with Lancia clubs in Europe.
Some of the occurrences for Lancista over the years include gathering at Padova, as shown below, or altho eBonfanti Museum in Italy which had a special show on just the Aurelia. at Pebble Beach when it had a special class for Lancia. Other events are shown as well.
