“Eight are the collections: cars, bicycles, motorbikes, cameras, musical instruments, typewriters, Formula 1 steering wheels but also small airplanes and original works of human talent. But this Museum is much more: it’s the story of a man who wanted to share his passion for engineering with the community. Congratulations to Museo Nicolis”
For these reasons yesterday night Museo Nicolis won “The Historic Motoring Awards 2018” in the “Museum of the Year” category, the most prestigious award in in the beautiful setting of the Sheraton Grand London Park Lane Hotel.
“I am very honoured by this prize, which fills me up with pride. I am very proud to represent here the wolrd of motorim” says Silvia Nicolis. “I would like to dedicate this prize to my family, but first of all to my father Luciano, who deeply contributed to the safeguard and diffusion of the international historic motorism. This is a competition among big names that honours us and our country. I truly hope this injection of enthusiasm and trust will be an impulse to the Museum’s activities ant it will contribute to the visibility and prestige of our territory”.
