Museo storico della motorizzazione militare

18
In 1955, on the initiative of the head of the automotive service of the Italian army, the Museo storico della motorizzazione militare was founded, the only collection of Italian military vehicles of the 20 century.

In 1991, the museum moved to the territory of the Chechchinola military base on the southern outskirts of Rome.

He does not have wide advertising, and it’s not easy to get there - the work schedule is completely stupid - the museum works ONCE once a week on Saturdays from 9.00 to 12.00.

The easiest way to reach it is by public transport. First, on the subway to the EUR-Fermi station (a very strategically advantageous place - there is McDonald's, because with toilets in Italy - the greatest trouble). Next, take the bus number XXUMX and go to the stop "Esercito fusilieri". Further we follow the signs "Museo".
At the checkpoint, a day documentary will ask for a document (any, the main thing is a photo) and will issue a visitor badge.

The entire exposition of the museum is located in six hangars, but at the time of the visit only three were available for inspection - a hangar with remarkably restored retro cars.

Fiat 3,5 HP - 1899

Renault 4 - 1910

Sodel - 1910

Itala-61 - 1924

Amilcar Sports - 1927


Separately, are cars that worked in the presidential garage

Lancia Flaminia Berlin - 1960

Lancia Flaminia Presidente Belsito - 1961

Maserati Quatroporte - 1983



The second hangar contains replicas of cars 19 century and cars of the First World War.

Bernardi Tricycle - 1896

DeDion Buton

Kuno Steam Wagon - 1799

The third hangar presents the colonial technique and rare Anglo-German blotches.

Here is also the Italian auto-technology of the postwar period.

Alfa Romeo-2 and F-12 ambulances

Fiat AR51

Fiat AR59

Hunting Harrier

All-wheel drive tricycle Guzzi



The equipment outside is very heterogeneous - here are Italian cars of the 30-40 period and post-war cars, also American Tanks period of the war and the period of NATO. The condition of most exhibits is not so hot, which is strange for their climate. But, since armored vehicles are not the theme of the museum, apparently they are not being watched. But there is something to see, which is not in Kubinka.

The accompanying soldier forbade to leave the central path, and therefore the angles of some exhibits are so bad. In the photo I tried to show something that can not be seen in our museums (although Long-Tom has already appeared in Verkhnyaya Pyshma).

Different vehicles are stored in the remaining three hangars - fire trucks in one, American and British jeeps in the other, nothing is visible in the third through muddy glass.

    The Italians automotive technology has always been at a very high level, even now, despite not much reliability. The same Centaur of all imported ones, the only one has high stability of the chassis when firing across the course, for example.

    Or trucks of the second world, SPA Dovunque 41 all-wheel drive 6x6, single-wheel, with independent suspension and fantastic geometric cross-country ability. I don’t even remember the Germans like that. True complicated and expensive, yes.

      Still surprising is the desire of Italians for "beauty", even in military equipment. I don’t understand - why does an army truck Alfa Romeo 800RE need a cabin of this shape? wassat

        Yes, he was essentially a civilian, Dovunque trucks and artillery trucks based on TL 37, Breda and Pavesi were considered army. More monocoque Autocarretta trolleys and tricycles. Where to go then, transmissions are very complex often and the price is not weak, in the absence of mass production.

    An excellent report! It’s amazing that they allowed us to shoot, you can’t even do it everywhere, or such grandmas will ask, you yourself forget what you wanted ...

      No, this is an interesting attempt (from an engineering, non-operational point of view) to create an airborne transport

        So is this a post-war development?
        In general, Italians had experience in the production of airborne transport in WWII - since 1942. produced an airborne motorcycle Volugrafo Aermoto 125

      I also liked it, it’s a pity that some of the exhibits left at the time of the visit - there were no pair of colonial machines, M13 / 42 and a Hemingway nurse.
