Ciao ragazzi, Pistons & Pretzels Italy is back! Bigger and better than ever before.
On June 5-7, our beloved community car event returns to beautiful Turin – for the first time ever, turning Pistons & Pretzels into a full-weekend experience.
This is more than just another edition. It’s the beginning of something new.
We’ve always celebrated remarkable artistry and exceptional engineering with a diverse showcase of standout vehicles. And that won’t change. But Design, to us, has never been just about what meets the eye.
We see Design as a cultural force. One that shapes identity, writes history, and drives evolution. A universal language that connects people not only within the mobility design community, but far beyond it.
So, with this new chapter, Pistons & Pretzels expands its perspective. From simply celebrating beautiful designs to positioning design as a cultural catalyst that sparks visions, shares knowledge, bridges disciplines, and creates relevance within the cities we enter.
The new agenda?
Turin is not just the backdrop for launching this new concept. It’s part of the story.
With everything Pistons & Pretzels aims to become, there is no better place to begin than Italy. More precisely, Turin. A city where design is woven deeply into its history, identity, and industrial evolution.
And right at the centre: the Barriera District.
Once a purely industrial area, the neighbourhood is now reinventing itself. Driven by Barriera Design District, it is blossoming into Turin’s most dynamic creative hub. Here, international art and culture don’t just coexist, they actively shape the urban ecosystem to enable meaningful exchange across sectores and deliver real value to the entire region.
Exactly the kind of environment where Pistons & Pretzels belongs.
Barriera Design District is a city imaging project.
A collective initiative aimed at creating and promoting the best possible image of Barriera di Milano, and by extension, of the entire city, with the goal of generating tangible, shared value.

Set within Turin’s historic industrial heart, Docks Dora reflects the kind of transformation that defines the city today.
Built in the early 20th century directly connected to the railway lines that powered the city’s industrial rise, it’s a place defined by movement and purpose.
That core still remains, yet is has evolved: what once enabled industrial exchange now fosters creative dialogue and cultural evolution.
The place itself has become a symbol of metamorphosis – and, thereby, for Pistons & Pretzels.
Widely regarded as the world’s first true supercar, the Miura did more than establish the creative genius of designer Marcello Gandini during his work with Bertone. It redefined car design and influenced Italian culture for generations to come.
Now, it’s been 60 years since the Miura changed the course of automotive history. On June 7, we are honoured to celebrate its legacy at Pistons & Pretzels Turin.
Because as part of its anniversary journey, thanks to our friends at STUDIOTORINO, the Miura will make a stop at our get-together.
More partners coming soon. Stay tuned!
