Car enthusiasts attend an Italian car show at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum despite a downpour
This past weekend, amid torrential rains, the Larz Anderson Auto Museum held their Italian car show: Tutto Italiano. The museum has been holding weekly car shows between May and October for the past sixteen years. Normally attracting around 5,000 visitors, the car shows allow owners the chance to have their cars judged against other cars in the same class. Although the rain kept many people away, many others still decided to attend the event despite the downpour. Visitors perused the cars protected by raincoats and umbrellas, taking a break indoors to check out the museum's exhibits when the rain got too heavy.
