The Bookshop

In the heart of the Mille Miglia, in Brescia, among the best and most well-stocked bookshops in the world.

Bookshop

Located in one of the most historic settings for motorsport, the Gilena Bookshop is among the few bookstores worldwide dedicated entirely to motoring. Its windows look directly out onto Viale Venezia, the starting and finishing line for the most beautiful race in the world every year.

For over 20 years, Roberto has welcomed countless customers and enthusiasts seeking the latest releases or rare, precious volumes that are impossible to find elsewhere.

Over the years, the Bookshop has grown into a true hub for enthusiasts and a premier destination for restorers, collectors, and experts in historic motoring.
Recently, the shop underwent a complete renovation, doubling its retail space to better accommodate both its international clientele and an extensive collection of 15,000 volumes in multiple languages. On the shelves, you will find the latest releases, limited editions, and workshop manuals, right alongside true collector's gems.

From Italian to international brandsโ€”organized alphabeticallyโ€”to biographies of racing legends and the most sought-after books on the Mille Miglia, every motoring topic is covered and has its dedicated place!
