Luciano Nicolis
The museum was his "hidden dream" since, as a boy, he collected
paper for recycling by biking around the villages nearby.
Luciano Nicolis, authentic Verona born, made this
dream come true in 2000, when he inaugurated "his Museum" which was
immediately opened to the public. In the "Museum of Cars,
Technology and Mechanics" he has gathered together
unfindable and precious items that his fascination for mechanics
led him to seek out all around the world: cars, motorbikes,
bicycles and also musical instruments, cameras, typewriters and
other items of human genius.

He even managed to transmit the same passion to his family, who
have always backed him up and helped him. The museum is his habit
and his enjoyment, he wanted it to be spectacular and
creative and he is constantly adding to the collections.
He loves acting as guide for the visitors, introducing himself as
"I'm the nutcase who did all this", and he amazes everyone telling
the story of each single piece, where it came from, its history and
curios. You will find him enthusiastically walking around "his
museum", bursting with ideas and projects. Yet, when you ask him
anything about "his collections, he answers "we are not the
owners of all this, just the safekeepers for the
future..."
