Eberhard & Co. is proud to announce its new collaboration with renowned vintage car collector Corrado Lopresto, who joins the Maison’s world as a Brand Ambassador.
An architect and entrepreneur from Milan, Corrado Lopresto is internationally recognized as one of the most important classic car enthusiasts in the world and is considered a leading voice in the research, history, and culture of car design. His collection, entirely dedicated to Italian automotive heritage, spans from 1901 to the present day and includes one-of-a-kind pieces, prototypes, and rare models from historic brands such as Ansaldo, Diatto, Stanguellini, and Isotta Fraschini. Lopresto is known for his philological and conservationist approach to restoration, which has earned his cars over 300 international awards, including more than 60 Best in Show titles and four Coppa d’Oro trophies at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este.
His commitment has also been recognized by both FIVA and UNESCO, and in 2017 he received the prestigious Octane Award for the restoration of the only two existing Isotta Fraschini Monterosa vehicles. Lopresto currently ranks 22nd in the world among collectors, according to The Key (an annual publication by The Classic Car Trust featuring the top 100 global classic car collectors), and 35th among the most influential figures in the classic car world, according to Magneto (a high-profile quarterly magazine dedicated to classic and collectible cars).
This new chapter reinforces the deep connection Eberhard & Co. has cultivated with the world of motoring since its early days particularly with classic car collecting. As Mario Peserico, General Manager of the Maison, states: "The story of Eberhard & Co. is unique and deeply tied to the world of motoring, in a distinctive way. That’s why we carefully select our Brand Ambassadors. Choosing Lopresto was a natural decision: he is a true reference point in the automotive world, and he stands out for his respectful, research-driven, and passionate approach to classic cars. His work goes far beyond collecting—it’s a genuine passion, one that reflects the same dedication that has always driven our Maison."
Corrado Lopresto adds: "I’m very pleased to collaborate with a historic brand like Eberhard & Co., whose legacy spans over a century, just like many of my cars. The historical and cultural side of this project is what I value most, and I believe this partnership can truly contribute something meaningful to the heritage of both our brands."
