Ferruccio Lamborghini Museum

FERRUCCIO LAMBORGHINI MUSEUM

The Ferruccio Lamborghini Museum tells the story of Ferruccio's life through his mechanical creations and an extensive family photo archive. This space, conceived and designed by entrepreneur Tonino Lamborghini to celebrate the figure of his father, was inaugurated in 2014.

In the 9000 square meters of the Museum the entire industrial production of Ferruccio is enclosed, from the first Carioca tractor, with which he created his first company in 1947, to all the most important models of the 50s, 60s and 70s. An exciting journey illustrates both the personal collection of cars of the engineer Honoris causa Lamborghini, among which the legendary Miura SV stands out, and his most famous car productions, such as: the famous Fiat Barchetta Sport modified to take part in the Mille Miglia of 1948, the futuristic Countach, the Jarama, the Urraco and the Espada with gull-wing opening that inspired the car of the movie "Back to the Future".

The visit cannot end without a mention of the history of the helicopter prototype and offshore Fast 45 Diablo Class 1 of 13.5 meters with Lamborghini engine 11 times world champion.

The reconstruction of Ferruccio's first office at Lamborghini Tractors with his personal belongings, official documents and photos of the time will plunge you into the history of Italy's economic boom of the 1950s-60s, to remember not only Ferruccio's life, but also that of the Lamborghini family and the thousands of people who worked in his companies.

We would like to remind you that the Ferruccio Lamborghini and Fratelli Cozzi Museums have a long-standing partnership that provides special conditions for those who wish to visit both.
