Piazza Italia X on tour through Horsham District villages

This was a first for Horsham Piazza Italia. On Sunday 13th March 2016, a tour of the surrounding villages in Horsham District, West Sussex was organised by the events team at Horsham District Council as a promotional preview for the ever successful Piazza Italia event held in Horsham every year. I have been the official photographer for Piazza Italia for the past 8 years now and I have seen the event grow every year without fail. This also works very well with All About Horsham Magazine that I photograph for, AAH produces the program every year with content and images from the year before.

Starting in Horsham, a selection of cars and motorbikes gathered for a quick drivers briefing (and yummy bacon sandwiches provided by Carmela's Deli) before leaving to grace Billingshurst, Pulborough, Storrington, Steyning and Henfield with their presence. The reception in each of the receiving villages was nothing short of amazing! Crowds built up very quickly prior to the tour arrival and as soon as the super cars and bikes were parked up, swarms of enthusiasts of all ages viewed the visual delights of Ferrari, Ducati, Alfa Romeo, Lamborghini, Mini, Tesla, and Aston Martin brands to name a few!

The Italian market was a great hit in Steyning and many businesses joined in with the fun showing Italian themed flags and banners and some with complete themed window displays too

Here are a few of my favorite picks from the day but the complete set of my official iPiazza Itaia X tour images can be viewed here
