About 40 vintage Rolls-Royce and Bentley automobiles descended on one of America’s most exclusive private communities, Tuxedo Park, N.Y., for “Gates and Estates,” an event held on Sunday. Sponsored by the Atlantic Region of the Rolls-Royce Owners’ Club and hosted by Peter Regna, the noted car collector and entrepreneur, and his wife, Barbara, the gathering took guests on a four-mile drive through “The Park” and featured walking tours of three luxurious homes along the way.
Before the start of the tour, Mr. Regna, credited with inventing the inflatable and crashworthy fuel cell bladders used in racecars and military vehicles (and the presidential limousine), offered guests a brief history of Tuxedo Park.
“Founded in 1886, the Park was in fact the first planned community in the United States,” he said. “The criteria for purchasing a home back then was you had to spend a minimum of $5,000 on your house, which was an enormous sum in 1886.”
As a result, a large number of mansions were built in Tuxedo Park before 1900; eventually the entire town was added to the National Register of Historic Places, Mr. Regna said.

The Divine Comedy (Italian: Divina Commedia[diˈviːnakomˈmɛːdja]) is an Italian narrative poem by Dante Alighieri, begun c. 1308 and completed around 1321, shortly before the author's death. It is widely considered the pre-eminent work in Italian literature[1] and one of the greatest works of Western literature. The poem's imaginative vision of the afterlife is representative of the medieval worldview as it existed in the Western Church by the 14th century. It helped establish the Tuscan language, in which it is written, as the standardized Italian language.[2] It is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso.
The poem discusses "the state of the soul after death and presents an image of divine justice meted out as due punishment or reward",[3] and describes Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Allegorically, the poem represents the soul's journey towards God, beginning with the recognition and rejection of sin (Inferno), followed by the penitent Christ
