Situated in the Italian capital Rome, the Capannelle racecourse first opened its gates in 1881. It was rebuilt in 1926 and hosts a number of the most important races in the Italian racing calendar, including the Derby and the Premio Roma. In May the Premio Presidente della Repubblica, a Group 1 event for 4 year olds or more, takes place over 2400 metres. In October the Premio Lydia Tesio is also a Group 1 event for 3 year old fillies over 2000 metres. However, this race has not been run since 2008 when Estejo was victorious when ridden by Daniele Porcu. The Group 2 Italiano Derby is for 3 year olds and run over 2200 metres each May which was first contested in 1884. The Premio Ribot in November is also at Group 2 level and is for 3 year olds over 1600 metres.
