RIGHINI COLLECTION - The Righini collection of cars and motorcycles is kept in the Castle of Panzano in Castelfranco Emilia, in the province of Modena, which once belonged to the Malvasia family.

The ancient walls of the structure enclose the testimony of Mario Righini's great passion for the recovery and restoration of ancient cars, cultivated since his youth, when he witnessed the demolition of vehicles requisitioned by the State. And so, keeping faith with his promise to collect as many vintage cars and motorbikes as possible, Righini has preserved the history of our country's engines in the spaces of the castle once intended for service areas.

The collection consists of about 350 specimens, among which the Auto Avio Costruzioni 815 from 1940 stands out, the first car built by Enzo Ferrari, when his factory did not yet exist, purchased by Righini from the Museum of San Martino in Rio; the Alfa Romeo 2300 8C, which belonged to the legendary Tazio Nuvolari, who with it won the Targa Florio in 1933 and the Monza Grand Prix; the singular Fiat Chiribiri of 1912, which in appearance resembles a cigar on four wheels, capable of reaching surprising speeds for the time. There are also other pieces that represent the best of motoring, such as Ferrari, Mercedes Benz, Isotta Fraschini, Rolls Royce.

To welcome you will be Mario Righini himself, who lives right at the castle.
