The tour starts from Bologna, and most precisely in Borgo Panigale, the city district where Museo Ducati pic n°5 is located. The Ducati brand was born in 1926 thanks to engineer Antonio Cavalieri Ducati, but the motorcycle department was opened only in 1946, just after the Second World War was over. The first model produced was the "Cucciolo", a light and easy-to-use motorbike. From that time on, the company has been developed until becoming one of the most important motorcycle brands in the world and taking also part in many prestigious competitions.
The Ducati Museum, founded in 1998 on a 1,000 square meter large area, offers you two ways to visit: on one side, you can admire all the motorcycles in chronological order, starting from the first prototypes to the most refined models of our days, - on the other side, you can stroll around some halls where different aspects of the Ducati company are depicted. Here, you can learn a lot about its history, and about its famous models, accessories, and much more! You also have the chance to visit the factory where these famous Ducati motorcycles are produced and assembled.

The Lamborghini Factory, another milestone of the Motor Valley, is located 24 kilometers North-West from here. It was founded in 1963 by entrepreneur Ferruccio Lamborghini who, according to what is said, started producing cars after a fight with Enzo Ferrari. Since then, the Lamborghini Company has been producing the worldwide known luxury and competition cars that have the bull as their symbol.
Today, the Lamborghini brand is part of the Volkswagen group, and its main factory, as well as the Museum Lamborghini (pic n°3), is located in Sant’Agata Bolognese, the second stop of our tour. The Museum was inaugurated in 2001, it allows visitors to take a journey along the history of the brand and admiring some of the most important or exclusive cars of the company. The first masterpiece by Ferruccio Lamborghini was 350 GT, then many others followed: Miura S, Espada, Countach, Gallardo, Aventador and many more! Here again, you can visit both the museum and the factory, having an insight into how these amazing supercars are produced.
From here, drive south-west and get to Maranello. This small town in the province of Modena is very popular for being the homeland of Ferrari, likely to be the most famous car company in the world!
