Galleria Ferrari - Maranello (I) |

With all the interest from history, heritage and straight branding, many of the world's better recognised marques have seen fit to open some form of museum at their headquarters location, and just watch the fans arrive and pay money to see the history of their favoured marque. Ferrari has not missed out on this, and now has the Galleria Ferrari, the factory's official museum, in a purposed designed building a few hundred yards from the world renowned manufacturing plant in the small town of Maranello. There are signs, but not too many of them, and I ended up doing a lap of the factory before finding this place, but that had its compensations, as it meant I saw several cars emerge from the plant for road test, including half a dozen 458 Italia and a couple of 599 GTO cars, still part wrapped up in protective cladding. Once you do find it, you will discover that plenty of others have done so, too, and the museum was moderately busy, even though this was a Tuesday morning in July before the real rush starts. Entry costs 13 Euros, and I spent more than 2 hours there, just entranced by what I saw.

Museo Peugeot - San Gimignano (I) |

San Gimignano is an old Tuscan town, perched on the top of a hill, famous for the 13 towers that can be seen for miles in any direction. It is a charming place, and much beloved of tourists, large numbers of whom include on their itinerary while in the area. But for the car lover, there is an added, and quite surprising, reason to go. It is the location of a quite splendid museum dedicated to old Peugeots. Located just out of town, on the north western side, the museum is housed in a purpose built 2 storey block. You know that you are close, as when you come down the steep hill from the main road, you can see some very forlorn looking old Peugeot parked up round the back. I was told by the proprietor that these are indeed too far gone to repair and are there solely for spares. When I went, I was the only visitor, and so after wandering around for a while by myself, the owner caught up with me and told me a little about some of the cars on show, mostly in English, with the odd word of Italian where he did not know the word.
