Checco Costa Museum

On Thursday 27^th June the Checco Costa Museum in Imola opened its doors to the public to provide an exclusive preview during the Superbike championship week. The official inauguration of the museum is scheduled for 1^st May 2014, a date that will mark the twentieth anniversary of Ayrton Senna’s tragic death.

For many years now, CTI has provided Claudio Costa’s Clinica Mobile with close secretarial and organisational support and has now been charged with the task of translating all the museum’s technical info charts, caption cards and brochures.

The museum, is a 600 m² facility built above the Imola race track paddocks thanks to special funding from the EU and the Imola Town Council; it will be named after Checco Costa, a pivotal figure in the history of Italian motorcycling, founder of the “Enzo and Dino Ferrari” race track and Dr. Claudio Costa’s father.

This museum will make the race track an all-year attraction, even when no races are on, with events aiming not just to evoke the history of the racetrack through a fine collection of memorabilia but also to celebrate those heroic protagonists of automobile and motorcycle racing who made the circuit world famous.
