Meeting Internazionale Fiat 500 Club Italia
The world gathering of the Cinquecento in the valley that made history
About Meeting Fiat 500
Garlenda, capital of the Cinquecento
The International Meeting of the Fiat 500 Club Italia is the most important event in the world for Fiat 500 enthusiasts. It is held in Garlenda, a village in the Lerrone Valley in the province of Savona, the historic home of the Fiat 500 Club Italia, the association that has brought together 500 enthusiasts from all over the world since 1984.
Three days of passion
The meeting transforms Garlenda into a large open-air gathering, with hundreds of historic Cinquecentos arriving from all over Italy and abroad. The program includes parades, exhibitions, excursions to the most beautiful seaside resorts on the Riviera, talk shows, evening shows, and tastings of local products. The Dante Giacosa Multimedia Museum, dedicated to the designer of the 500, is open and free to visit.
An Italian myth
The Fiat 500 is much more than a car: it is a symbol of Italy's economic boom, rebirth, and freedom of movement. The Garlenda meeting celebrates this myth by bringing together an international community of enthusiasts, united by their love for the small but great car.
The Riviera di Ponente celebrates
In addition to the automotive aspect, the meeting is a great celebration that involves the entire Lerrone Valley and Riviera di Ponente area, with significant benefits for tourism. For those who love vintage cars and the atmosphere of gatherings, it is an unmissable event of the Ligurian summer.
