Over 3000 unique artifacts telling centuries of courage and sacrifice.

Exhibition Pavilions

Santa Barbara

A unique documentary treasure in the Italian firefighting scene: official notices, engravings, regulations, prints, books, photos, postcards, and diplomas that tell the true story of Italian firefighters.

Saint Anthony Abbot

Focus on the Italian Red Cross: litter carts, horse-drawn and vintage motorized ambulances, and unique memorabilia related to historical medical rescue.

Saint Lawrence Martyr

Dedicated to corporate and private Fire Brigades, recounting the tragic events that marked the history of the ANIC petrochemical plant of the ENI group in Manfredonia.

Saint Florian of Lorch

In this pavilion, you can admire the suggestive true-virtual reality, the only one of its kind in the world, created with original aerial rescue systems ranging from the late 1700s to the early 1900s: rescue net, tubular sheets, rescue sheet, circular sheet, descent ramp, and horse-drawn ladder.

ALARM CENTER

In the reconstruction of the late 19th-century 'Civic Firefighters of Turin' alarm center, you can admire the accessories used for vehicle maintenance and all the alarm systems used over two thousand years: from the bellows trumpet of the ancient Romans to the drum, the bell (which was the most widespread alarm system), the metal telephone, the wooden telephone, the trumpet, the cornet, the standard whistle, and the bitonal whistle.

SPECIAL HISTORICAL VEHICLES, FIRE AND RESCUE

A large area dedicated to the many vehicles that have made two centuries of history in firefighting and rescue. A journey into the heart of the courage of history and humanity. Among sirens and perfectly preserved historical vehicles, the museum takes you into the fascinating world of rescuers who fight tirelessly to protect lives.

Among the over 80 fire engines and ambulances at the museum, you can admire: the incredible horse-drawn fire pump from the late 18th century, one of the very first ambulances in history; the Fiat 18BL, which was an architect of the Italian victory in the Great War, driven by the American writer Ernest Hemingway and used in 1953 at Cinecittà to film "A Farewell to Arms" starring Rock Hudson and Alberto Sordi; the Bianchi S5, the first ambulance of the modern era and the only specimen of its kind in the world, used for the series "Il Commissario Ricciardi 2 and 3"; the Fiat 503F fire engine used in "Polvere di stelle," a historic film with Alberto Sordi and Monica Vitti; and the legendary Fiat Campagnola AR59 used in the desperate rescue operations following the Vajont tragedy.
