Collezione Righini

Collezione Righini is a private museum of roughly 350 cars and motorcycles assembled by collector Mario Righini, displayed inside the Castello di Panzano near Castelfranco Emilia. The stable includes rare early Italian marques and landmark models tied to automotive history.

Visits are by appointment only; the collection is listed in regional Motor Valley and ASI museum directories and highlights vehicles such as an Auto Avio Costruzioni 815 and a 1912 Fiat Chiribiri.

On a visit you'll tour rooms of the Castello di Panzano where the Righini Collection's cars and motorcycles are exhibited, often with curator or owner commentary about provenance and restoration.
