Note to editor – MUSEO NICOLIS

Among the most exciting and evocative private exhibitions on the international scene, the Museo Nicolis in Verona tells the history of 20th-century technology and design. The recognition of excellence derives today from the awarding of the most coveted and prestigious award in the world of classic cars: Museum of the Year at The Historic Motoring Awards in London and the Ruoteclassiche “Best in Classic – Museum of the Year“, the grand gala of the most coveted historic motoring in the motoring panorama. Further evidence of the value of its collections is sanctioned with the entry of Villafranca into the Città dei Motori circuit, the network that unites the 27 Italian municipalities, which offer the best of our country in this field together with international brands such as Pagani, Lamborghini, Ferrari, with which the Museum actively collaborates.

The birth of the Museum is due to the great passion of Luciano Nicolis. The story of life found its place in an exhibition space of 6000 square meters in 2000, the year of its inauguration. His masterpieces have been divided into ten collections to build an organic, professionally qualified, structured itinerary to satisfy the most demanding visitor. A journey through the history of the twentieth century among stories, lifestyles, sports, and myths in different historical periods. The opportunity to get to know our treasures that make up the ten prestigious collections: special hours to recharge your batteries, ready to return to your daily tasks with a unique experience in your luggage. Impossible not to be surprised and fascinated by objects and works of art that man’s ingenuity has been able to create. It is no coincidence that the Nicolis Museum represents a “unique” of its kind and is indicated as emblematic of modernbusiness culture. The concepts of “collection and reuse” that have guided the growth of the Lamacart Group are the same ones that fueled Luciano’s passion for collecting, allowing him to perceive the value of refined products that are currently forgotten and considered worthless.

The talent of its Founder only partially explains the success of the Nicolis Museum; the basis of his affirmation is the entrepreneurial management of the structure entrusted to Silvia Nicolis, president of the Museum and daughter of Luciano, who has focused on the promotion of culture, tourism and the enhancement of the territory, fully expressing her entrepreneurial vocation. Silvia Nicolis is vice president of Museimpresa, the association headed by Assolombarda and Confindustria to enhance the heritage of Italian industrial history. He is also a member of the Board of the Verona Chamber of Commerce responsible for Tourism and a member of the National Confindustria Culture Technical Group.
