Time travel through the history of the car and motorcycle world
"We have many surprises in store for the 2025 edition. Our goal is to continue on the path marked by our history and to show the same tradition and enthusiasm that have characterized us since the first edition," explains Mario Carlo Baccaglini, founder and organizer of the trade fair. "We want to continue to embody what we have always been: the fair of passion for engines. We also want to use the facilities and areas of BolognaFiere to create unforgettable, engaging and appealing experiences. Every year Auto e Moto d'Epoca amazes because the show is always different and yet remains the event it has always been."
A tribute to Formula 1
The special exhibition "75:1 - 75 years, one seat" tells the entire history of Formula 1 and presents a selection of legendary single-seaters that have shaped different eras, from the 1950s to the early 2000s. The exhibition, organized in collaboration with private collectors and industry professionals, offers visitors the opportunity to admire legendary racing cars up close, bearing witness to technical innovations and memorable sporting ventures.
This exhibition promises to be a real highlight for all motorsport enthusiasts, with single-seater models that have belonged to great drivers such as Juan Manuel Fangio, Karl Kling, Nelson Piquet, Ayrton Senna, Riccardo Patrese, Nigel Mansell and Michael Schumacher, among others.
Honda's two-wheeler history
On the motorcycle horizon, Honda is celebrating its history with an unprecedented exhibition: 600 square meters are dedicated to an extraordinary collection of motorcycles that can rarely be admired in public.
The exhibition includes Grand Prix motorcycles that have never been on display before and is enriched by the participation of motorcycle champions, making the experience even more exciting. Visitors will be able to relive decades of innovation, design and sporting successes of the Japanese brand, immersing themselves in its motorcycle culture.
Grand appearance of the Stellantis brands
For the first time at Auto e Moto d'Epoca, the Stellantis Heritage Hub will make its debut, the museum that preserves and celebrates the historic heritage of the Italian brands Fiat, Lancia, Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Autobianchi and Jeep. With a collection of around 300 vehicles, the Heritage Hub offers a comprehensive insight into over a century of technical, stylistic and cultural development in the Italian automotive industry.
This participation represents an important enrichment for the fair and is a unique opportunity for enthusiasts to admire masterpieces of the automotive world up close.
Autombilia and spare parts
But Auto e Moto d'Epoca has much more to offer. The automobilia section is constantly growing and offers an ever larger and more sophisticated selection of original objects from the history of motorsport. From posters and trophies to signs and the most unusual objects, visitors will come across a wide range of items that recreate the heroic atmosphere of the motoring world of the past. This area is not only dedicated to collectors, but to all enthusiasts who want to take a piece of history home with them.
Two exhibition halls are entirely dedicated to classic car spare parts: an important meeting place for classic car restoration enthusiasts. Specialized exhibitors offer a large selection of original parts, faithful reproductions and rare components, sorted by make, era and model. Specialization is becoming increasingly apparent, with some suppliers focusing on specific spare parts for historic Italian car brands, including original accessories from the relevant period.
Online pre-sales are already open. Tickets and further information are available on the Auto e Moto d'Epoca website.
