One day we took a drive out towards Verona to look at the most amazing private collection of cars, motorbikes and other memorabilia that we have ever seen. 

Luciano Nicolis started collecting when he was a boy in the 1930s, paper for recycling, and in 2000 opened his “showcase”,  personally overseeing the restoration of all his vehicles, which his daughters now continue following his death.  His collection didn’t stop at vintage cars, he collected motorcycles and bicycles, formula 1 racing cars and over 100 autographed steering wheels from racing cars, cameras and typewriters from the late 1800s and World War 1 and 2 vehicles, uniforms, guns and ammunition and even a few planes!  6000sqm of 8 collections, whose numbers are incredible: 200 cars, 110 bicycles of the great champions, 100 motorbikes, 500 cameras, 100 musical instruments, 100 typewriters, 100 Formula 1 steering wheels but also small airplanes and original works of human talent.  He also has the bike ridden by Leonardo Da Vinci!!!

I hope you enjoy the following photos.

And finally, something other than just cars!

The Vanderbilt Cup from Formula 1 racing.
