During our travels to events all around the world, we sometimes get the chance to visit the best automotive museums. This year, we stopped in Turin to take a closer look at the MAUTO or Italian National Motor Museum. This stunning collection was originally started by Senator Roberto Biscaretti di Ruffa in 1933, so it is 90 years old this year. During this period only two cars were actually acquired with the rest donated by private individuals and manufacturers. The collection is nevertheless second to none and includes a fabulous selection of pioneer automobiles and highly original competition cars like a Mercedes-Benz W196, the Maserati 250F prototype and the Fiat that won the 1907 French Grand Prix. During our visit, there were also special displays celebrating the Gino Macaluso Foundation rally car collection and one honouring the diverse machines produced by Renzo Rivolta's ISO company.
We have chronicled the history of the MAUTO in a detailed report, which is illustrated by a 70-shot gallery.
