The first took place in Bastia Umbra in the region of Umbria. It was mostly geared towards two wheel vehicles but there were a number of interesting cars. As seems to be the norm, there were several exhibit halls full of vendors selling parts, vehicles in need of restoration, books, signs, posters and clothes.
Some vendors have quite elaborate displays while others just lay out their goods on the floor.
A Fiat 500 Topolino (little mouse), probably pre WWII. Behind this car you can see a display of t-shirts and jackets.
Renault R4
Lancia ???
Fiat 500 - post WWII
Some ancestor of the Land Rover and Hummer...
The day after we visited the show at Bastia Umbra we stumbled across some spray painted signs for a mostra. Since we were just meandering towards Montalcino we followed the signs through the town of Pozzuolo Umbra, down a long dirt road to some large iron gates. Inside the gates were about 100 two wheel vehicles and about 50 four wheel vehicles scattered throughout a wooded area. We walked around and saw some interesting motorbikes, motorcycles, cars and a few items that defy categorizing.
Long, long avenue of two wheeled vehicles
It was raining but the cars did not seem to mind
More cars
I liked this Fiat 500 with wicker seats--for the beach?
There were a few racy models
This is Dom's favorite picture--4,000 years of transportation in one photo!
This is my favorite--an early snowmobile
There were free refreshments including these tasty little fishies. There was no entry fee but a box asked for donations for some fund.
