Looking back at Piazza Italia 2019 in pictures

Coronavirus did not cancel Piazza Italia in Horsham for 2020, it had already been decided by Horsham District Council that it would not go ahead. The flagship event ran every Easter weekend from 2006 to 2019 and we loved it, so we thought we would treat you to some pictures from last year.

Huge crowds gathered in glorious sunshine for Horsham’s 13th Piazza Italia and visitors were treated to a blend of supercars, Italian market stalls, street food, themed entertainments and business promotions during the two-day event. Horsham Churches Together’s Good Friday bandstand service and Walk of Witness procession drew a massive audience, who got the Carfax off to a rousing start accompanied by the surrounding bustle of the already trading stalls. Hundreds of supercars did their best to dominate proceedings, but huge cheers and applause were reserved for the departure of the classic Fiat 500s and 30th Anniversary Italian Job Minis on Friday, and the sole green Fiat 126 from Horsham Barbershop on Easter Monday.
