Museo nazionale dell'Automobile (National Car Museum) "Carlo Biscaretti di Ruffia"

Along corso Massimo d'Azeglio you walk along the area occupied by the hospital buildings and then you reach, in corso Unità d'Italia, 40, the museum prepared in the building purposely built by Amedeo Albertini in 1960 and that goes along the auto-locomotion history from the origins to present days.

National Car Museum

In the ground floor you can follow the tyre evolution, in the first floor there are the vehicles ordered chronologically and the bodies and in the second floor the sport section has been prepared.

The origins of the motoring are illustrated by patterns of vehicles with wind and steam propulsions and by vehicles of Italian production.

Noticeable are the steam engine Bordino, built in Turin in 1854, the steam tricycle by Enrico Pecori (1891), the Bernardi vehicle (1896), the Fiat vehicle 1901 and the legendary Itala 1907, which won the Beijing-Paris race in 1907 (16,000 Km in 44 days); plus the chassis Lancia "Lambda" (1923), the coupé de ville Isotta Fraschini 8A (1929) and the Cisitalia 202 of 1948.

For the foreign production, which is well documented, remarkable are the Ford T (1916) and the "Silver Ghost" by Rolls-Royce of 1914.
