Photographic collections

Enrico Bernardi Archive – Photos

Collection of pictures, letters, manuscripts, abstracts, brochures, posters by and about Enrico Bernardi, preserved at the Enrico Bernardi Museum of Machines of the University of Padova.

The original photographs illustrate Bernardi’s works such as the three-wheeled car with its 42-2 registration plate, built in Padua by the Miari & Giusti Company in 1894. The vehicle registration document is preserved in the archives of the Automobile Club d’Italia in Padua. The car itself runs perfectly and can be “driven” on the road without any alteration of its original parts.
