Museums in Italy

This car collection was established in 1956 by Emilio Storchi Fermi and Giulio Campari, who transferred the collection of Domenico Gentili from Bologna to San Martino in Rio. Since 1965, the entire collection has been housed in the current warehouse, which was expanded in 1994. There are forty cars, eight motorcycles, around a hundred bicycles, and several wagons displayed.

For 2023 the museum has changed its name and been entirely remodeled, both in its modernized layout and design, and in its exhibits.  The newly-created exhibition “THE FUTURE BEGAN IN 1963”, retraces the most emblematic eras and representative moments that mark the history of Lamborghini's first 60 years. The narrative begins with the evolution of the brand and its products from 1963 to the present day, starting with founder Ferruccio Lamborghini.
