Lamborghini legacy

Ferruccio Lamborghini died in 20th February 1993 at the age of almost 76.

Tonino Lamborghini created a tribute to his father, he contacted the architect Diversi in Imola to design a kind of 'arch' to hold just about everything Sig. Ferruccio Lamborghini ever did during his life.
This museum was constructed on the grounds of Lamborghini Calor, at Dosso di Ferrara, the official grand opening occured on May 13th, 1995. This project was named the Cento Polifuzionale Ferruccio Lamborghini and reached great popularity the moment its doors opened for the public. All visits were by appointment only, but still during 1997 over 4000 pilgrims arrived at Sant'Agata to visit this spectacular space-like museum. If you ever have the opportunity to visit it, don't hesitate it is surely worth it, I was able to visit it during the summer of 1998 and it was overwhelming.

Tonino Lamborghini has later named his son Ferruccio Jr, in honor to his father.
