Meeting of the Fiat 500 Club Italia in Pistoia on 20 and 21 May 2023

The Fiat 500 Club Italia Meeting in Pistoia 2023

As it was in 2022, the Axel Gerstl company supported and attended the Fiat 500 meeting of the Fiat 500 Club Italia in Pistoia 2023 organised by Massimo Lissa and his team. Once again, this was a very successful event for the almost 200 Fiat 500s and their crews taking part (for the report from 2022, click here). After having been picked up from the hotel by Massimo himself on Saturday, our staff member and colleague Andreas first was busy to help with the immediate preparations together with Fabio Grosso from the Rome South and Vatican City Club Department and Giovanni Grisolia from the Savona Club. Once all participants had arrived, the first two of the three major programme items took place: a guided underground tour taking the participants underneath the historic hospital of the city of Pistoia and a visit to the museum for percussion instruments, the Fondazione Luigi Tronci. There, Gennaro Scarpato gave insights into the history of percussion and sound effect instruments that proved to be highly fascinating for Andreas. On Sunday, an excursion to a unique railway museum followed. Then, after the participants had enjoyed lunch together, the meeting finally came to an end. “The special nature of such wonderful events is always complemented by the social aspect,” said Andreas after his return and he told us that “particular local projects would be funded through the participation fee.” Thank you very much for the invitation, Massimo!
