Collezione Righini
The Righini collection of cars and motorcycles is kept in the Castello di Panzano (Panzano Castle) in Castelfranco Emilia, once belonging to the Malvasia family.
The ancient walls of the structure are a testament to Mario Righini’s passion for restoring old cars, which began in his younger years when he witnessed the demolition of vehicles as required by the State.
The collection includes historic cars from every car company: Ferrari, Mercedes Benz, Isotta Fraschini, Rolls Royce, with the stars of the show, classic Alfa Romeo cars.
