Museums in Italy

Demm was an Italian producer of scooters and mopeds. This museum was realized by Giuliano and Mose Mazzini, a father and son team. Giuliano worked at Demm for decades, rising from the position of a simple draftsman to vice president. The collection includes serial models, prototypes and the factory archive.

The collection contains documents relating to both World Wars, but the centenary year of the outbreak of the Great War was considered an appropriate time to open the new museum, with most of the available space reserved for exhibits related to that earlier conflict, some of them unique and extraordinary. The first part of the museum was opened with an emphasis on inclusivity, as its creator wished.

Located at the Ducati factory headquarters, the 1,000 sq/mt Ducati Museum highlights 50 years of racetrack heritage. The Museum has preserved over half a century of Ducati racing history and also the history of the company (before it produced motorcycles) founded by the Ducati brothers in 1926. From the popular post-World War II "Cucciolo" to the more recent breakthrough with the Desmosedici, the museum highlights 50 years of Ducati technological innovation, award-winning design and, above all, exceptional racetrack performance.

Elio Brunelli, the former president of the ASI motorcycle events comission put together this collection, with a particular focus on Moto Guzzi, made between 1930-1970. Every motorcycle is ASI approved. The museum is dedicated to Augusto Farnetti, one of the greatest world motorcycle experts of the time.

It was born from the initiative of Renato Ricci, son of the owner of the company "Emanuele Ricci" - an entrepreneur known since the 1940s for the marketing of chemicals, lubricants and tires - and has long been committed to promoting regional sport. About thirty cars, a van, two trucks, a mobile crane, a tractor and one of the first Piaggio Ape three-wheelers are shown.

This is a museum dedicated to one of Italy’s most celebrated legends, unquestionably one of the leading lights of the Twentieth Century, Enzo Ferrari, man, driver and carmaker: the history of car racing. The new museum, built with an investment of some 18 million euros, stands on the ruins of the old house where Enzo Ferrari was born in 1898.
