Casette di Funo: Museums, Industrial History and Cycle Route

Casette di Funo is an interesting starting point for anyone wishing to combine Italian industrial history, museums and travel planning by bicycle. The Museo Ferruccio Lamborghini is located nearby, a museum with an unusually direct connection to the history of Italian vehicle manufacturing. At the same time, a cycle route continues as far as Via de' Giudei in Casette di Funo.

Museums with Different Areas of Focus

The Museo Ferruccio Lamborghini is dedicated to Ferruccio Lamborghini's entire industrial production. Covering 9,000 square metres, the exhibition ranges from the first Carioca tractor, with which Ferruccio Lamborghini founded his first company in 1947, to the most important models of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. The museum was founded in 2014 in a former Lamborghini industrial plant in Funo di Argelato. It is precisely this combination of company history, technology and the site of a former industrial plant that makes the visit interesting for travellers who want to discover more than just well-known car models.

The museum also includes a 13.5-metre-long offshore boat of the Fast 45 Diablo Class 1 type. It is powered by a Lamborghini engine associated with an eleven-time world champion. The exhibit broadens the perspective beyond classic automobile manufacturing and shows how wide-ranging the museum's technical themes are. The area around Casette di Funo also includes the Museum of Modern Art of Bologna, a museum, as well as the Museo delle Cere Anatomiche Luigi Cattaneo, a museum.

Remembrance and Practical Orientation

A historic memorial site is also part of the surrounding area. The memorial plaque “Lapide ai Caduti degli eccidi di Argelato e delle Larghe” commemorates the tragic events that shook Argelato on 9 August 1944. The Ferruccio Lamborghini Museum is located at Strada provinciale 4 Galliera Sud, 319, 40050 Casette di Funo (BO). This complete address provides clear guidance when incorporating a museum visit into your daily itinerary.

Getting to the Lamborghini Museum

The Ferruccio Lamborghini Museum can be reached from Bologna Autostazione by bus no. 97 Lame in approximately 30 minutes. It is also about a two-minute walk from the Zona Industriale Larghe stop. This connection may be particularly relevant for you when planning an individual trip if you do not want to link your museum visit exclusively to travelling by car.

Opening Hours for Your Daily Planning

From Tuesday to Friday, the Ferruccio Lamborghini Museum is open from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 14:00 to 18:00. On Saturdays and Sundays, opening hours are from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 14:00 to 18:30. The lunch break divides the visit on these days into two time slots. If you choose a hotel in Casette di Funo, you can include these times, together with the bus journey, the short walk from the stop and other museum destinations, in your personal travel planning without limiting your stay to a single programme item.
