Zagato

Founded by Ugo Zagato in 1919, Zagato is a historic Italian coachbuilder and design house now based at Via Arese 30 in Rho (Terrazzano di Rho) on Milan’s outskirts. The site combines design, prototyping and limited production in a facility documented in public sources.

The company operates as ZED Milano s.r.l./Zagato S.r.l. and is notable for its role in coachbuilt sports cars and collaborations with major marques. The factory footprint reported in encyclopedic sources is roughly 23,000 m² total with about 11,000 m² covered.

A compact, industry-focused visit that highlights Zagato’s styling heritage, workshop processes and some finished coachbuilt examples rather than a large public museum.

Look out for:

• Original Zagato design elements and hallmark coachbuilding details.

• Prototype and low-volume production techniques used on bespoke bodies.

• Historic references to Ugo Zagato and the company’s century-long timeline.

• The Via Arese industrial site and workshop layout documenting modern operations.

Best way to experience it:

Contact Zagato in advance (info@zagato.it) to confirm whether visits, guided tours or appointments are available; expect limited public access and small-group or by-arrangement viewings rather than open-hours museum access.

• Visits are often by appointment; contact info@zagato.it to enquire.

• The site is an active factory—public access may be restricted for safety or confidentiality.
