Museo Multimediale della 500 D. Giacosa

Operated by the Fiat 500 Club Italia and inaugurated in 2007, this compact museum documents the Fiat 500 story and the work of engineer Dante Giacosa. Exhibits combine historic cars, archival film, reproductions and educational displays.

The museum is housed at the Club’s headquarters in Garlenda and includes interactive elements such as driving simulators alongside archival footage and member‑loan vehicles. It serves as both a documentation centre and a meeting point for Fiat 500 enthusiasts.

A focused, museum‑style presentation of the Fiat 500’s history with a mix of vehicles, multimedia and hands‑on exhibits.

Look out for:

• Original and club‑loan Fiat 500 cars on display.

• Archival film and Istituto Luce materials about the model and era.

• Interactive exhibits and driving simulators for a hands‑on feel.

• Documentation and displays about Dante Giacosa’s design work.
