Beautiful experience - I have always been a motor enthusiast, but I am also a person who appreciates beautiful and well-finished things. I went to the Nicolis museum with a friend without telling him where we were going to surprise him for his birthday and we were struck by the beauty, the order and from the kindness of the staff in a few words I think it is one of the most beautiful things I have seen in my life.

A work of art - Beautiful museum where details and care make the difference, more than a museum it is a dive into the past where even non-enthusiasts are amazed, congratulations indeed.

Absolutely fantastic - I can only strongly advise anyone who is on holiday in Italy to plan a visit to the Museo Nicolis. I was speechless at the collection of everything to do with technology and mobility that can be seen there. An absolute must for every car/motorcycle and technology fan. All for an unbelievably cheap 14 euros entrance fee when you consider the millions of dollars worth of items that can be admired there. I would like to point out that the staff are really nice and friendly.

Top attraction! - A must for anyone interested in technology. Lots of perfectly restored vintage cars, bicycles, and motorcycles. The calculators and typewriters section is nice, but a bit sparse. There are no real rarities, which is a shame.

Very interesting Museum close to Verona dedicated to the most relevant evolution of the objects of common use in the last centur - Excellent Museum of the recent evolution of many modern era'sobjectd, ranging from transportation (cars, bikes, motorbikes, engines, planes) to photo machines, typewriters, pianolas, small models of cars. All the items on show are well kept and in good light In a nice modern and friendly ambient. The museum is close to Verona easily reachable by car and train/bus. Some items would deserve to be highlighted further because of their hisyorical/technical relevance like the E marine engines, the antique outboard. It would be welcomed a technical and historical introduction to the sections of the beautiful and significant collection

Maserati’s! - Lots of Maserati’s and other beautiful old Italian classic cars. There were other unrelated car items, collections of personal interest to the museum’s owner.
