Few other inventions have accompanied the development of modern society like the car, the means of transport par excellence. Its story is the story of man, his conquests, battles, the headlong race for modernisation that marked the 19th and 20th centuries. The Museo Nicolis gives life and witness to this evolution with a display of hundreds of perfectly working cars, many personally restored by Luciano Nicolis and all restored to their original splendour.
It is surprising to see how a car has marked our lives over the last two centuries, how it helped women in their march towards autonomy and independence, how it passed through the cinema leaving us unforgettable films of races, loves and betrayals, escapes, journeys and challenges, which all had a car at the centre of the scene somewhere or other.
