The Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este is probably the most important event celebrating the mystique of historic automobiles. This event, steeped in tradition, was first held in the heyday of aristocratic cars in 1929 and was revived in the 1990s. Each year, the world’s most elegant classic and concept cars are displayed against the grand backdrop of the Grand Hotel Villa d’Este on Lake Como.

Every five years, the City of Zurich presents the award for good buildings. On 20 September, the award ceremony took place for the 18th time. Twelve awards and nine recognitions were presented by the 13-member jury of prominent experts. There was also an audience award for “FOGO – Leben am Vulkanplatz.”

Zurich’s Kongresshaus and Tonhalle have a long and chequered history. Now, after a four-year construction period and many years of disputes about their future, they were reopened at the beginning of September 2021. The result is convincing in its respect for the high quality of the existing building.
