Collezione velocipedi e biciclette antiche A. & C. Azzini, Soresina, Italy +++++

We had the opportunity to personally walk through the entire museum accompanied by both owners in 2022. It was a huge pleasure to see not only a cross-section of the bike's development, but entire blocks dedicated to local brands. This is what a museum should look like! This is the reason why collectors from all over the world will come and discover new and unknown technical treasures here. Their museum and exhibits are fantastic. The beautiful philosophy and attitude towards collecting is convincing. Alfredo and Carlo Azzini say: “We paid great attention to the conservation and restoration carried out in our restoration center. We study every detail, every difference. During many years of passionate research, we were guided by only one consciousness: although we are now the momentary owners of these treasures, our mission is only and exclusively one idea: to preserve and protect them and finally leave them to future generations with full respect for bicycle history."

Museo Storico della Bicicletta, Toni Bevilaqua (Collezione Sanvido)

Sergio Sanvido (former racer and bicycle dealer) inaugurated the Historical Bicycle Museum in 1997, named in memory of a great man of the past, the Venetian Toni Bevilacqua, world champion in 1950 and 1951. The museum was originally located in the house di Sergio, on the ground floor, near of the historic bike shop that still bears his name.

In 2007, Sergio himself donated a large part of his collection to the municipality of Cesiomaggiore, and it was then moved to the top floor of the town's elementary school, which was converted for museum purposes. And we must state that this collection can boast one of the most interesting collections in Italy.
