The Turin Motor Show (Italian: Salone dell'Automobile di Torino) is an auto show held annually in Turin, Italy. The first official show took place between 21 and 24 April 1900, at the Castle of Valentino, becoming a permanent fixture in Turin from 1938 having shared it with Milan and Rome until that time. From 1972, the show was held biannually and in 1984, it moved into Fiat's shuttered Lingotto factory.[1]
In 2000, it was announced that the show was to be moved to April, starting in 2002.[2] However, the event was last held in Turin in June 2000, and cancelled from 2002, resulting in the Bologna Motor Show taking over the role of Italy's International Motor Show.[3] From 2015 to 2019, Turin again held a Motor Show, albeit as an open air festival to keep exhibitors' costs down, and provide free access to the public.[4] It is held in the precinct of the Parco del Valentino. It has been held again since 2022 as part of Autolook Week, but the nature of the show has changed and it now has more of a focus on classics and specialty cars.
