The Premio Guido Berardelli is a Group 3 flat horse race in Italy open to two-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run at Capannelle over a distance of 1,800 metres (about 1⅛ miles), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late October or early November.
The event was formerly known as the Premio Tevere. It was named after the Tevere, the Italian name of the Tiber river.
The race was given its present title following the death of Guido Berardelli in 1985. Berardelli served as president of UNIRE, a governing body of horse racing in Italy.
For a period the race was contested over 1,600 metres and classed at Group 2 level. It was extended to 2,000 metres in 1988, and shortened to 1,800 metres in 1995. It was relegated to Group 3 status in 2002.
