a Walter Dang fashion show

a concert or play

-

an Ex Libris international exhibition on the history and role of the “small great car”. An ex libris is a small piece of paper which an artist conceived, engraved and printed. It was originally applied to the inner cover of a book to indicate its owner. Over the centuries its nature has changed. Although it has never lost its original character, an ex libris is nowadays seen as a work of art and a collector's object. The exhibition, which hosts 80 artists, will lead the public on an ideal journey of the evolution of the “TOPOLINO”. References will be made to the City of Turin, as well as the men and circumstances which made it possible to put this car on the road and turn it into such a successful automobile.

* You can subscribe starting from Friday (two nights) and Saturday (one night only). Nevertheless, it is possible to take part in the event without staying at the Lingotto hotels. * Accommodation at Lingotto includes covered parking space for the “TOPOLINOS” and outdoor for any support vehicle (trailers, vans, lorries).
