Carlo Biscaretti di Ruffia (Roberto\u2019s son) indissolubly linked his name to the Automobile Museum: he was actually the one who had the idea of starting its first collection, worked hard for its creation and incessantly searched to find the right location for its premises. In 1956, A.N.F.I.A. (Associazione Nazionale fra Industrie Automobilistiche ed Affini) along with the Agnelli Family, in accordance with the Municipality of Turin, decided to support the construction of its permanent headquarters in Unit\u00e0 d&#8217;Italia avenue. By an official deed in February 22 1957, Torino\u2019s Automobile Museum was founded. Its historical headquarters, on the left bank of the river Po, not very far from the Lingotto plant, were designed by the architect Amedeo Albertini. The building, whose construction started in April 1958 and finished in the autumn of 1960, represents a rare example of modern architecture. The museum was officially opened on November 3 1960 and was named after its first President, Carlo Biscaretti di Ruffia.<\/p>\n<h3>Opening times, prices and further informations<\/h3>\n<p>Visit the official website:\u00a0<a title=\"The National Automabile Museum\" href=\"http:\/\/www.museoauto.it\/website\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.museoauto.it\/website\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dearitaly.com\/piedmont\/turin-city\/what-to-see-in-turin\/national-automobile-museum\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\"><span>Print<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dearitaly.com\/piedmont\/turin-city\/what-to-see-in-turin\/national-automobile-museum\/?share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span>Email<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-1079\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dearitaly.com\/piedmont\/turin-city\/what-to-see-in-turin\/national-automobile-museum\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-1079\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dearitaly.com\/piedmont\/turin-city\/what-to-see-in-turin\/national-automobile-museum\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-linkedin-1079\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dearitaly.com\/piedmont\/turin-city\/what-to-see-in-turin\/national-automobile-museum\/?share=linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on LinkedIn\"><span>LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\" itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>Turin,\u00a0the Italian capital of automobiles From its industry to design, from design to engineering, from research centres to production.
