220 pages illustrate the Museo Fisogni, a collection that industrial art experts consider unique and particularly rich.

The absolute protagonists of the museum are the petrol stations, and then plates, cans, globes, toys and other objects that provide an aesthetically pleasing backdrop to the factory location, but also testify to the speed of change.

Through the pages, the 5,000 pieces of Guido Fisogni's private collection come to life, which in 2000 earned him the Guinness World Records certificate for the most extensive collection on this subject.

Driven by his daily job, Guido Fisogni casually came across an old Bergomi petrol pump with matching pentalitres in the early 1960s, forgotten, in poor condition, in a sand quarry.

Immediately he had the idea of recovering and conserving it. From that moment on, for over thirty years, work, and hobby have mixed, allowing him to start a unique collection, which from a confused and sometimes occasional collection has become an orderly and properly structured museum.
