Another important novelty: the presence of the most important museum collections in the world. It is the network made up of the most prestigious European museums dedicated to the automobile, starting with MAUTO,  the National Automobile Museum of Turin, which is celebrating the 90th anniversary of its prestigious Collection. And again the Motor Valley district | APT Emilia Romagna, which Auto e Moto d’Epoca is a member of, and a pillar in the past and present of motoring. The Motor Valley Development association will have a dedicated exhibition hall and the presence of major motoring brands, museums, private collections, race circuits, motoring or automotive events organisers. They will all be coming together to disseminate and transfer to the new generations the culture of this excellence-packed territory. Continuity between past and future is firmly linked to the participation of major automotive brands which, at Auto e Moto d’Epoca, address an audience of aficionados, highlighting the leitmotiv that links vintage cars to the latest new models launched on the market and the accompanying innovation and technology. The following have confirmed their participation in the 40th edition of Auto e Moto d’Epoca: Volvo Cars Italia, Toyota Motor Italia, FCA Stellantis Heritage, Mercedes Benz Italia, Alpine, Bentley and McLaren. 
Last but not least, the presence of Clubs and Registers is outstanding as usual, each with cars and bikes which have made motoring history a heritage to be preserved and guarded. Many new entries are linked to the history and passion of the motoring land, such as Scuderia San Martino. The ASI Village, the massive space dedicated to the Automotoclub Storico Italiano (Historic Italian Automoto Club), has been restyled and extended. Also present are the Automobile Club Italiano and ACI Storico in the large area which will be playing host to authentic four-wheeled gems as well as a rich calendar of events and dedicated talks. The Piazzetta Lancia experience has also been confirmed. This exhibition area is dedicated to all the great Italian clubs. First ever attendance on the part of the newly established Club Cayenne, which ranks up to five the number of Porsche clubs present at Auto e Moto d’Epoca 2023. Among the anniversaries being celebrated, mention must be made of the 70th celebrations of Autodelta and the 100th anniversary of Quadrifoglio Alfa Romeo. And also the Marazzato collection which will bring together vintage lorry models with the VR driving experience on the roads of the 1950s. Thanks to the large outdoor spaces afforded by BolognaFiere, a large number of rallies will also be organised inside the exhibition district.
