The sixth Monaco International Meeting of Historic Fiat 500s takes place on 18th and 19th July at the Quai Albert Ier on Port Hercule, organised by the Club Fiat 500 Monte-Carlo under the patronage of the Italian Embassy in Monaco.

The two-day event, which brings together owners and enthusiasts of the original historic Fiat 500, is themed around the 1970s and coincides with the 90th anniversary of the Fiat 500 Topolino — the compact two-seater first presented in June 1936 that became one of the defining vehicles of Italian postwar life. Designed by engineer Dante Giacosa and produced in three series until 1955, the Topolino was the smallest mass-produced car of its era and is widely credited with bringing motoring to the Italian masses. More than 376,000 were built.

Programme

Saturday 18th July opens with a morning drive along routes of the Monte-Carlo Rally, departing at 10:15am with a lunch stop before participants return to the port in the afternoon. From 5pm, the group will visit the Collection des Automobiles de S.A.S. le Prince Albert II before the evening closes with a free tribute concert by Abba Time at 8:30pm.

Sunday 19th July includes a visit to the Monaco et l’automobile exhibition at the Grimaldi Forum, followed by a parade through the streets of Monaco at 2:15pm. The event closes with a prize-giving ceremony at 3:30pm.

Animations across the weekend include games, karaoke, dance sessions and a basket competition open to all. The programme is subject to change.
