Via Pepoli

Bologna Italy’s Coolest Little Garage

Everybody starts somewhere.   For Maserati, that beginning was epicentered at Via Pepoli 1 in Bologna, Italy, in December of 1914. 

Via Pepoli is a cobblestoned street that winds its way through the oldest sections of Bologna.  The buildings are a typical mix of storefronts, apartments, commercial and industrial uses, with the odd gallery, museum, or trattoria thrown in among the rest of it.  In other words: charming.
