08/10/2025 - 58th Motorist’s Day

Today at the Tazio Nuvolari Museum, the “58th Motorist’s Day” was held — a traditional and highly significant event for ACI Mantova.

It was an opportunity for our organization to meet with Institutions, Law Enforcement, Citizens, ACI Members, and the press, to pay tribute to those who contribute daily to road safety and public order, and to celebrate the Mantuan ACI members, the “Pioneers of the Steering Wheel,” who have held a driver’s license for over fifty years.

The ceremony, led by the President of the Automobile Club Mantova, Alberto Marenghi, featured the participation of His Excellency the Prefect of Mantova, Dr. Roberto Bolognesi, who expressed words of appreciation and support for the constant commitment of the organization and for the quality of the services provided by ACI Mantova and the Tazio Nuvolari Museum — an international reference point for the promotion of automotive and sports culture.
