Forza Summer Party 2026
Sunday is the day of the main celebrations of the annual ForzaItalia.pl gathering. It is when hundreds of participants and more than 1,500 visitors arrive at the grounds of Pałac Rozalin to admire a display of unique Italian machinery, take part in a variety of attractions, and enjoy delicious food prepared with respect for Italian culinary traditions.
But before the main celebrations begin, a much smaller gathering takes place on Saturday afternoon – the Summer Party. Here, the cars take a back seat and the people become the main attraction. It’s an evening of long conversations, freshly prepared food, bonfires, and the charm of Rozalin’s peaceful gardens.
I could argue that the Summer Party is even closer to my heart than the main event itself. On Sunday, I'm usually busy with my duties and can only squeeze in a few brief conversations with friends I rarely get to see. Saturday evening, on the other hand, has a much more relaxed pace. No one is in a hurry, and there’s finally time to catch up and enjoy each other’s company. It’s also one of the few moments when the entire team behind the event can spend time together without having to worry about organizing or running anything.
People and conversations may be in the spotlight, but that doesn’t mean there are no machines capable of turning heads during the Summer Party. Some of the cars destined to be stars of the main event are already in place on Saturday. The recently introduced Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm stood proudly in front of the newly built orangery, two Giulia SS models showcased their timeless charm against the backdrop of the palace, while the unexpected duo of a Maserati MC20 and a De Tomaso Pantera occupied the small square closest to the heart of the event. There were definitely a few automotive sights worth remembering during the Summer Party.
The Summer Party serves as a gentle warm-up for the attractions and emotions awaiting participants during the main event the following day. And what exactly was happening there? I already covered that in the previous article.
