The Maserati Umberto Panini Collection was born from the deep mechanical passion of the Modenese entrepreneur Umberto Panini. It first opened in its original version in the early 1990s. Over time, it has become a unique reference point for all enthusiasts.
From mid-2025, in its new, renovated exhibition spaces, it will continue in the rich tradition of the Motor Valley.
The Collection’s heart features an extraordinary selection of Maserati automobiles, tracing the brand’s evolution from its origins to the present day. Umberto Panini saved these in 1996, in their original core of 14 vehicles from the Official Museum. Among them are several iconic and rare models that testify to Modena’s engineering excellence and Italian design..
The Maserati Umberto Panini Collection is where the passion for motors is passed down through generations, safeguarding the memory of an era and celebrating Italian ingenuity—a true rebirth for the Trident’s history in Modena.
With this latest configuration, the Umberto Panini Collection establishes itself as an essential landmark for lovers of the Trident brand and the Motor Valley, offering a comprehensive and captivating museum experience.
THE MASERATIS
The vehicle exhibition spans over 100 years of Maserati production.
From pre-war single-seaters like the 6C/34 and 6CM to the highly successful 250F, which, with Juan Manuel Fangio, won the Modenese Trident’s only F1 World Championship.
You’ll see the iconic 1958 420M/58 “Eldorado,” a single-seater built for the International Monza 500 Miglia event, notable for being the first racing car to carry external company sponsorship.
The Pininfarina-designed gem, the A6GCS “Berlinetta,” was produced in only four units.
Discover the ingenious Birdcage Tipo 61 and Tipo 63, alongside road cars ranging from the first 1954 A6G to the 3500 GT Touring, passing through the Mistral, Ghibli, and Merak.
The Collection includes the latest additions: the Alfieri Prototype and the MC20.
