Casette di Funo and the Ferruccio Lamborghini Museum

The Ferruccio Lamborghini Museum gives you a specific reason to explore the history of technology and business in Casette di Funo. Spanning 9,000 square metres, the museum houses Ferruccio Lamborghini’s entire industrial production, from the first Carioca tractor to the most important models of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. This broad time span makes a visit appealing to travellers who want to see individual vehicles in context and follow the path from the company’s early beginnings to later generations of models.

A company’s history across the decades

The story begins with the Carioca. Ferruccio Lamborghini founded his first company in 1947 with this first tractor. From there, the collection moves on to important models from three later decades. This creates an easy-to-follow timeline: the tractor marks the beginning of the company’s history, while the models from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s show the breadth of the production on display. The museum was established in 2014 in a former Lamborghini industrial plant in Funo di Argelato. Its location in a former factory adds a fitting institutional chapter to the story of industrial production. If you are travelling with children, the sequence from the first tractor to later model generations can provide a thread for conversations you can share.

From tractor to offshore boat

The museum also features a 13.5-metre Fast 45 Diablo Class 1 offshore boat. It is powered by a Lamborghini engine associated with an eleven-time world champion. The boat adds a maritime element alongside the tractor and the generations of models. The comparison between the first Carioca tractor and the offshore boat brings two very different vehicle types together. So, alongside its chronological storyline, the museum offers a vivid contrast between an agricultural beginning and a maritime vehicle.

Getting there and finding your way

The Ferruccio Lamborghini Museum is at Strada provinciale 4 Galliera Sud, 319, 40050 Casette di Funo (BO). From Bologna Autostazione, it can be reached by bus no. 97 Lame in about 30 minutes; from the Zona Industriale Larghe stop, it is approximately a two-minute walk. These times are approximate. Check the current timetable and stop information with the local operator before travelling. The cycle route has its own local reference point: it continues to Via de' Giudei in Casette di Funo. Cycling infrastructure conditions can also change.

Choose a holiday apartment to suit your travel plans

The bus information answers a different planning question from the cycle route: it gives an approximate travel time from Bologna and a short walk to the museum, while the cycle route is described by its endpoint on Via de' Giudei in Casette di Funo. You can take these differences into account when looking for a holiday apartment. First, consider whether the bus journey from Bologna or the cycling connection in Casette di Funo matters more to your stay. Then compare locations based on your own itinerary and how important the museum visit is to you. This way, you can choose a location that fits your planned trip.
