History

The event was formerly classed at Listed level, and it used to be held in May or June. It was promoted to Group 3 status and renamed the Premio Paolo Mezzanotte in 2004. For a period it was open to fillies aged four or older.

The race reverted to its previous title, the Premio Verziere, in 2009. From this point it was staged in October, and open to fillies aged three and up.

The title "Premio Paolo Mezzanotte" is currently assigned to a different race, a Listed event formerly known as the Premio FIA-BEF.[1]
