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.
