Museo Targa Florio

On Corso Vittorio Emanuele in Collesano, Museo Targa Florio traces the history of Sicily’s famous road race through photographs, racing equipment, tools and drivers’ uniforms. It is a compact stop for anyone interested in historic motorsport, with staff who can help explain the displays. You will not find full-size cars inside, but the memorabilia gives you plenty to explore. Race cars have also gathered on the street outside for event stages, adding a link between the exhibits and the race itself.

A collection devoted to the Targa Florio

The museum brings together photographs and objects connected with the Targa Florio, including car parts, tools and racing uniforms. Its displays focus on the people and equipment behind the race, so expect memorabilia and documentation rather than cars on the museum floor.

The collection is small enough for a focused visit. If you have questions, staff may be able to talk through the exhibits; Italian is useful for a fuller conversation.

The race beyond the displays

The museum’s setting in Collesano connects its collection to the wider Targa Florio story. During some event stages, race cars have arrived on the street outside, bringing the subject of the exhibits into view. This depends on the event, so do not plan on seeing cars there during an ordinary visit.

If you arrive and find the museum locked during its stated opening period, the town hall reception desk is about 20 metres farther along and can help.
