The Triumph of the Tazio Nuvolari Museum at Milano AutoClassica: A Celebration of Passion and Dedication

The vibrant atmosphere of Milano AutoClassica, the renowned Classic and Sports Car Show, welcomed thousands of automobile enthusiasts eager to celebrate the beauty and history of vehicles that have marked unforgettable eras. Amidst the roar of engines and the timeless allure of vintage cars, an emotional highlight took center stage at the Auditorium: the awarding of the Ruote Classiche Best in Classic 2024 – Collection of the Year category.

This prestigious competition featured three Italian treasures as finalists: the Umberto Panini Collection from Modena, the Piaggio Museum from Pontedera, and the Tazio Nuvolari Museum from Mantua. With pride and heartfelt emotion, it was the Tazio Nuvolari Museum that emerged as the ultimate winner. This recognition honors not only the value of the collection itself but also the passion and dedication of those who tirelessly work to preserve and promote the legacy of the legendary Mantuan driver.

The award was accepted by Dr. Giuseppe Pottocar, who expressed profound gratitude in his speech: “This achievement would not have been possible without the support and dedication of the ACI Mantova staff, who share my love for history and innovation. A special thanks goes to Fabio Castagna, CEO of GlobalMedia, whose commitment to the digitalization and promotion of the Museum worldwide has allowed our work to reach an ever-growing audience.”

This success represents a milestone in the history of the Museum—an institution that goes beyond preserving the past, embodying a passionate and visionary outlook toward the future. The award is not just a tangible recognition but also a symbol of Tazio Nuvolari's enduring legacy: courage, speed, and determination that continue to inspire generations of enthusiasts.

This triumph reaffirms the Tazio Nuvolari Museum’s role not only as a guardian of history but as a true ambassador of Italian motoring culture, seamlessly blending tradition and innovation. Milano AutoClassica 2024 paid homage to a story that lives on and evolves, with the Tazio Nuvolari Museum at its very heart.
