Officina Tesini Guest Rooms
The historic garage of famous people and motorsport legends
A long time ago “technical salon” for road vehicles, sport machines and competition vehicles was frequented by Showmen and racing legends like Maria Callas and Tazio Nuvolari.
The historical mechanical laboratory, which is situated in the heart of Verona, re-opened now as “salon of relax”. It offers two rooms of the famous MARTES garage – founded by the Veronese mechanic, developer and driver Danilo Tesini – in a place dedicated to have breaks and rests. It wants to be a place for tourists and enthusiasts of a motorsport era, made by drivers and extraordinary personalities.
Enjoy your stay while respecting memories that connect these rooms to the history.
From the workshop of the artisan form Verona, factory of the inventions and passions, passed through a lot of prominent personalities.
When he ended his career as a driver, he never stopped elaborating the mechanical “hearts” of the road vehicles and also of the racing cars.
OFFICINA TESINI, the history.
Danilo Tesini wasn’t just appreciated as a technician, but also as a driver and constructor of two-seater sport cars, the MARTES (acronym of Modification Automobiles Reparations Tesini). In the 50th these cars deserved the congratulations by the Maserati’s brothers…

Rooms
Between the 1945 and 2003, Danilo Tesini has reviewed, modificated and realized special kits for road and competition vehicles in this room, known as the “Salon of the carburetors”; thanks to these kits, Danilo Tesini’s nickname became “Wizard of the motors”.
On the walls of this creative laboratory are collected pictures of the personal history of the mechanic which also was the constructor of motors and competition vehicles (the MARTES), inventor of the automobilistic patents, the gentleman driver Danilo Tesini; here were received clients and prestigious friends (including Carlo Abarth, Alberto Ascari, Giulio Cabianca, Vittorio Emanuele, in addition to Tazio Nuvolari and Maria Callas).
He was defined by his friends “a man that has lived on the motorsport and loved it until the end”, the 15th of July 2008 when died.

This is the old dressing room, reserved for the mechanics of the Tesini’s workshop, and it’s dedicated to Nuvolari.
Those mechanics followed with care his automobiles and started up, when he asked, the Alfa Romeo P3 form the epic victory of the 1935 at Nürburgring; this was the racing car that after all of its success was parked by the side of the laboratory of the friend Danilo.
A “monster” that emitted flames more or less one meter long by the exhaust pipe, that made the walls of the mechanical workshop shake with so powerful resonance that could have been heard up to Piazza Bra. Tazio came to this workshop every Monday and then he made himself drive home by them, in Mantova, where Mrs. Carolina Nuvolari was preparing the tea for Tazio and Danilo.
Like this from 1945 to June 1953, two months before passing away in his bed, the 11th of August.
