Overview

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.
