Description

The Giannini brand is absolutely unique in the Italian automotive scenario: a story of passion, creativity and experience, from which a sporting and industrial tradition lasting almost a century has developed, starting in 1920 with the small repair shop of the brothers Attilio and Domenico.

Today the museum displays some of the most significant models in Giannini's history: from the Punto Drago to the 590 Corsa Replica, from the Windsurf prototype, a 1996 concept car based on the Bravo and Brava, to the Giaur 750 of 1955, destined for record attempts over medium and long distances. But perhaps the model to which the family is most attached is the Fiat Uno Turbo, which was on the list until 1987 and had an engine of 903 cubic centimetres and 78 horsepower.

The cars prepared by Giannini characterised the races reserved for tuned cars in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, and the 23 national driver's titles won by the twin-cylinder engines helped to strengthen the company's sporting image.

There is no lack of pictures, paintings, videos, detailed descriptions, full of curiosities and interesting stories.
