Museo Stanguellini - Museo di auto d'epoca
About This Museum
Tucked away in Modena, a city synonymous with automotive passion, the Museo Stanguellini offers a refreshingly intimate counterpoint to its more famous neighbors. This isn't a temple of futuristic supercars but a lovingly curated love letter to a family's racing and coachbuilding legacy. You walk through what feels like a personal garage, surrounded by the delicate curves and roaring engines of a bygone era. The air itself seems thick with the scent of oil, leather, and ambition, telling stories not of corporate giants, but of artisan craftsmen.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the collection is its stunning array of pre- and post-war race cars and elegant roadsters, many bearing the distinctive Stanguellini shield. Look for the tiny, impossibly charismatic '750 Sport' from 1953, a car that looks more like a speeding bullet than an automobile. Alongside these are beautifully preserved motorcycles and an incredible assortment of original mechanical components and trophies that make the history feel tangible.
Visitor Information
It's a compact museum, so you can have a rich, unhurried experience in under an hour—a perfect stop for any motor enthusiast exploring Modena's 'Motor Valley'. The staff are typically passionate and knowledgeable, often sharing personal anecdotes that you won't find on any placard.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a functional, unassuming industrial-style building on the Via Emilia Est, the exterior gives little hint of the automotive jewels within. It feels authentic, like stepping directly into the workshop where these machines were once conceived and cared for.
