The Premio Parioli is a Group 3 flat horse race in Italy open to three-year-old thoroughbred colts. It is run over a distance of 1,600metres (about 1mile) at Capannelle in April.

It is Italy's equivalent of the 2000 Guineas, a famous race in England.

History

The event is named after Parioli, an area of Rome to the north of the racecourse. It was established in 1907, and the inaugural running was won by Gostaco.

The race was originally open to both colts and fillies. The first filly to win was Wistaria in 1910, and the last was Saccaroa in 1950.

For a period the Premio Parioli held Group1 status. It was downgraded to Group2 level in 1996, and to Group3 in 2007.

The Premio Parioli is currently run on the same day as its fillies' counterpart, the Premio Regina Elena.
