Nice site Rick - somehow I missed press #3 for English. ah ah ah
Torino has many fine Car Guy museums too.
Would be traveling that far south?
F1 vintage races?  Sounds like fun.
Ever do the Monterey Historics?
Anyway - pictures of course on your return.
Enjoy

Sweet!  There's a museum in Maia, Portugal that is very similar.

Fantastic place.  We'll visit it when we meet for the vintage F1 races at 
the Boavista Circuit in Porto!
