The Premio Carlo d'Alessio is a Group 3 flat horse race in Italy open to thoroughbreds aged four years or older. It is run over a distance of 2,400 metres (about 1½ miles) at Capannelle in May.

History

The race was originally called the Premio Ellington. It was named after Ellington, the sire of a leading 19th-century broodmare in Picciola, Italy.

The Premio Ellington was run over 2,400 metres. For a period it held Group 2 status.

The event was renamed in memory of Carlo d'Alessio, a successful racehorse owner, in 2000. D'Alessio's horses included Bolkonski, Le Moss and Wollow.

The Premio Carlo d'Alessio was extended to 2,800 metres in 2001. It reverted to 2,400 metres in 2005. It was downgraded to Group 3 level in 2006.
