About Auto Moto Raduno-Story

Every spring, Lerma, a charming village in the Province of Alessandria, transforms into an open-air museum dedicated to vintage engines. The Auto Moto Raduno-Story brings over 140 classic cars and motorcycles to Piazza Genova, coinciding with the traditional San Marco Fair. Featuring artisan stalls, local delicacies, tastings, and the prestigious Arturo Magni Award, this event blends a passion for classic vehicles with conviviality and the discovery of the Piedmontese historic center.

A gathering of historic engines in the hills of Alto Monferrato

The Auto Moto Raduno-Story is an event that brings Lerma to life every springโ€”a picturesque village in the Alto Monferrato area of the Province of Alessandria, in the heart of Piedmont. The event attracts motor enthusiasts from all over Northern Italy, who showcase their vintage cars and motorcycles, turning the village streets into a journey through history, design, and mechanics.

Over 140 historic vehicles in Piazza Genova

The heart of the event is Piazza Genova, where over 140 models of historic cars and motorcycles are displayed. Registration opens early in the morning, and throughout the day, the village fills with curious onlookers, collectors, and families. The vehicle exhibition blends seamlessly with village life, offering visitors the authentic atmosphere of a community festival.

The connection with the San Marco Fair

The gathering takes place alongside the traditional San Marco Fair, a spring event that has enlivened Lerma for generations. The streets are lined with stalls selling handicrafts, furniture, and local products, accompanied by musical entertainment, tastings in collaboration with the local Enoteca, and guided tours of the historic center. The combination of the fair and the rally creates a rich day for all ages.

The Arturo Magni Award

A highlight of the event is the Arturo Magni Award, dedicated to the memory of the famous motorcycle tuner and technician. The awards ceremony recounts Magni's legacy through the testimonials of his children, Giovanni and Carlo, offering the public a journey into the great Italian motor racing tradition.

A growing festival

Promoted by the Un Libro per Amico association with the support of the Municipality of Lerma, the Auto Moto Raduno-Story is a young but rapidly growing event, capable of combining a passion for classic vehicles with the promotion of the village and its traditions. It is the perfect opportunity for those looking to discover the Alto Monferrato off the beaten tourist path.
