See special attractions which include films, exhibits and displays about the A. P. Giannini story,  the Joe Petrali Story (The Pride of Sacramento Motorcycling Champion) - and the 1965 Ford vs Ferrari competition

Italian cars are as much a part of Italian culture as are the food, art, cinema, architecture and people. It’s no secret that Italy is a country of beauty, quality, and style. This is seen in everything from their clothing to their coffee, and that includes its stunning high-performance cars and motorcycles. Few nations can equal the beauty of Italian designed cars. Italy’s automotive heritage is one of the country’s greatest achievements and are a symbol of Made in Italy.
