    Nice article, thank you!
    I live in Bologna and know all the mentioned museums very well.
    The Museo Casa Enzo Ferrari in Modena is truly beautiful too.
    For those travelling to Italy, the Alfa Romeo museum in Arese near Milano is magnificent, and the Car museum in Torino is amazing too. More, it is also possible to visit the ASI-Bertone collection full of prototypes close to Malpensa airport but the structure is poor.
    When you get out of all these museums you feel amazed, mesmerized, orgasmized.

    But then in Funo, close to Bologna, there’s a museum forgotten by the article leaving you with a totally different feeling of creative excitement: the one dedicated to Ferruccio Lamborghini, the founder of the brand and a man of many great enterprises: https://www.museolamborghini.com/it/home/
    The Ferrari, Ducati and Lamborghini car museums are like dreamlands that feel a bit like theme parks, but even as a Ferrari owner I acknowledge that the Ferruccio museum is surely my most inspirational because next to the Miura and the Countach you can admire farm tractors, a helicopter, a racing boat and many other engineering marvels.
    While Enzo was a die hard racer, Ferruccio was one of the most inventive men I’ve ever known about: he was a creative entrepreneur who never wanted his cars to race - he even put it as a condition for the sale of the company - because he had a son and was very sensitive to the big risks of racing, yet his legacy is still infecting any visitor with such an inspiration that every time you leave this place with a strong energy to produce something ambitious of your own.

    Thank you Ferruccio, we love you!!!

    I had a chance to visit the Ferruccio Lamborghini museum back in October. What an interesting place! Definitely worth a visit if anyone is planning to make a trip to that area. It's very unassuming. When I pulled up to the building I wasn't sure I was in the right area. I wasn't even sure if it was open as there were virtually no other cars in the lot. But, wow, what a neat place!
    Here's an interesting video about it:
