About the exhibition

AUTOMOBILI. A RECORD. is the exhibition at the National Automobile Museum in Turin focused on the album by Lucio Dalla and Roberto Roversi. Open from 13 May to 20 September 2026, it turns the record into an immersive route made of sound, images and historical objects.

What to expect

• Archival material: notebooks, correspondence, theatre posters and SIAE documents that reconstruct the album's creative process.
• Audio-visual content: television footage and period recordings that place the work in its cultural and political context.
• Historic cars: displayed to narrate different representations of the automobile in Italy, from myth to everyday life.

Highlights

• Critical view of the automobile: the exhibition examines not only technological progress but also themes such as alienation, consumption and urban change.
• Previously excluded tracks: the show presents songs omitted from the commercial releases, shedding light on the project's original vision.
• Two emblematic cars: the Alfa Romeo Tipo B P3 (1932) and the Autobianchi Bianchina 4-seater (1967), symbolizing racing heroics and mass motorization respectively.
