The Ferrari Museum collects and preserves the history of the brand and consists of a permanent section and a temporary exhibition area.

The Museum was conceived as a sensorial experience, in which, in addition to admiring the extraordinary cars that are part of the brand’s history, you can listen to the sounds of the various Ferrari engines, make a real Formula 1 pit-stop, and drive a Ferrari Racing thanks to a driving simulator, very similar to those where pro pilots are trained.

The experience ends with the possibility of making a shuttle ride in the Ferrari factory and on the Fiorano circuit.

Going back towards Modena, the last stop is the village of Campogalliano, home of the famous Bugatti house.

Although Bugatti was a French brand in origin, in 1987 entrepreneur and financial expert Romano Artioli acquired the rights for the production of cars.

After considering the idea of ​​recreating the company in France, he founded a new Italian company called Bugatti Automobili SpA with a factory in Campogalliano, designed by architect Giampaolo Benedini, in order to attract highly skilled workers from the Modena area.

Unfortunately, in 1995 the Bugatti Automobili declared bankruptcy: the financial difficulties forced Artioli to sell the industry and to abandon his dreams of glory.

However, before that, he still managed to create a series of models such as the accessory version of the EB 110 and the legendary Lotus Elise (at that time the Bugatti brand was also the owner of the Lotus brand), named after Artioli’s daughter, Elisa.

Today the Blue factory, as it is called in jargon, is an extraordinary space of industrial archeology, essential destination for the brand lovers.

It is entirely open to visitors thanks the old caretaker who today accompanies visitors, illustrating both the history and the spaces of the complex.
