The Premio Roma is a Group 1 flat horse race in Italy open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older. It is run at Capannelle over a distance 2,000 metres (about 1¼ miles), and it is scheduled to take place each year in November.
History
The event was established in 1911, and it was originally contested over 2,700 metres. The inaugural running had prize money of 50,000 lire.[1]
The race was shortened to 2,100 metres in 1913. It was extended to 2,200 metres in 1919, and increased to 2,800 metres in 1925.
The Premio Roma was given Group 1 status in the 1970s. It was cut to 2,000 metres in 1988. It is currently Europe's last top-level flat race of the year.
