Dear Visitor, as there are a lot of Lancia enthusiasts outside Italy, we thought it would be a good idea to create this small page on the Valsesia Lancia Story web-site in a language that is more familiar to you.
Unfortunately, for the moment, it is difficult to provide a site in a language other than Italian, however we hope that the following few lines are enough to arouse your interest. We are always pleased to be able to meet new enthusiasts of this emblematic Turin car manufacturer and to be able to exchange information with other Lancia clubs that are present throughout the world.
If you would like further details you may send an e-mail to info@valsesialanciastory.com. We would ask you, if possible, to write in English so that it is easier to send a reply.
The Valsesia Lancia Story
The original idea that brought about the foundation of the Valsesia Lancia Story in Fobello in 1995, was to be able to bring together the enthusiasts of this Turin Car manufacturer, starting right here from the territory that saw the birth of Vincenzo Lancia in 1881.
In fact, Fobello is a small borough situated in Valsesia, in the Mastallone Valley, where 'Censin' (as Vincenzo was called by the local inhabitants) was born and from where he left with his family for Turin to set up, in 1906, that prestigious name in automobiles.
Today our club is a small but vibrant entity numbering 200 members from all over Italy and also some from abroad. Apart from the head office in Fobello we also have an operative office in Varallo.
Every year the Valsesia Lancia Story organizes some events for all classic car enthusiasts, both in the area and further afield. Some rallies have become classics such as 'La Gita di Primavera' (Spring Tour), 'Il Valsesia in Lancia' and 'Il Bollito Rally'.
We also promote initiatives with other clubs, Italian and foreign, to bring to Valsesia and Fobello Lancia enthusiasts who would like to know more about the territory that saw Vincenzo Lancia flash by in one of his creations. One of theses recurrent events is the Raduno Lambda which is held every five years.
The Valsesia Lancia Story also publishes a newsletter entitled 'L'Anticipo', distributed to members at the beginning of the club year and in which you can find all the events of the year and various other curiosities and information relating to Lancia in general.
