The stunning debut of
the Longines Global Champions Tour of Rome
drew a chic crowd to the unique and beautiful
venue in the ‘Eternal City’.
In the shadow of Italy’s
Olympic Stadium the breathtaking arena surrounded
by 59 classical marble statues set an elegant
tone for the weekend of top-level sport.
Longines Global Champions Tour events are
always a lifestyle experience with destinations
on the calendar including Miami Beach, Paris,
Monaco, Shanghai and London and Rome is
no exception.
Among the smart crowd
in the VIP Hospitality Lounge overlooking
the main competition arena was rock legend
Bruce Springsteen and his wife Patti who
watched with delight as their daughter Jessica
jumped an impressive clear round in the
main 1.50m CSI5* competition featuring the
top ranked show jumpers in the world.
Charlotte Casiraghi of
Monaco was also among the young talent competing
at the prestige event in the heart of the
City. It was a smart society scene in the
VIP as guests from around the world enjoyed
typical Italian dining and watched the top-level
sport from ringside seats.
The world class sport
was free for the public to enjoy and will
continue throughout the weekend at the Stadio
dei Marmi.
