The Automobile Museum of Turin is a journey through time. Inaugurated in the 1960s, it is one of the oldest automobile museums in the world. With over 160 models on display, it offers a comprehensive overview starting from the first steam vehicles to modern racing cars. Here you can see the legendary Fiat 500, a symbol of the Italian economic boom, and the luxurious American Cadillacs that evoke the era of glamour.

A highlight of the museum is the section dedicated to speed, where you will find the iconic Formula 1 cars of Ferrari. This space, which we Italians call "the temple of speed," is a celebration of Italian engineering and passion for motors.

Not only is the history of the cars fascinating, but the building itself is an architectural masterpiece located on Corso Unità d'Italia, easily accessible from any point in the city.
