Stanguellini museum
It is said that Stanguellini's art consisted of making his automobiles very light, an admirable example of economizing space through ceaseless chiseling and perforating, all aimed at a single end: speed.
The Stanguellini racing team was created in 1925 and, first by modifying automobiles created by others and then by entirely constructing splendid cars, it began an extraordinary succession of victories in the most important competitions of the times, such as the Targa Florio and the Mille Miglia, and in various European championships, soon reaching worldwide fame.
Outstanding among the thirty or so most important automobiles are the first Sport 750s and 1100s of Fiat derivation, the Stanguellini Junior 1100 which won the Montecarlo Gran Prix and achieved highly satisfactory results in the Italian championship, the Stanguellini-Guzzi Colibrì, in which on October 9, 1963, Angelo Poggio and Pietro Campanella set a series of records at Monza, and many other masterpieces of this proud Modenese family.
