As I’ve just returned from my third trip to Modena I thought I’d share where I’ve visited and see if anyone has any thoughts on where I may have missed.
You can take as much time as you like in these places, generally an hour or so seems to cover each museum. If you are committed and plan your agenda you can do the lot in two days easily. Some you need to book and do check the opening days...
Ferrari
Ferrari have two museums and a factory tour (all subject to Covid).

https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/museums/enzo-ferrari...
The Ferrari F1 simulator is worth a go (70,000 Euros cost each).
The two Ferrari museums are about 30 minutes apart.
Maserati
Maserati have a factory tour, but you need to be 18 to do it. They have a shop but no museum and are near to The Enzo Ferrari museum for logistics.

Panini
A great collection including the ex Maserati museum.
The Panini (football stickers) family museum is well worth a visit. It’s free, but you have to email to book in advance as it’s on a farm.

Lamborghini
Lamborghini offer a museum & factory tour as well as a simulator.
https://www.lamborghini.com/en-en/museum
In addition there is a private Ferruccio Lamborghini collection.

Pagani
There is a museum & factory tour available (in my opinion the tour is the best one).

Ducati
Very near to Bologna airport if you have an hour to kill. Museum & factory tour (factory tour is currently closed) along with a great outlet shop nearby.

Stanguellini Museum
By appointment only, but now reopened.
https://www.stanguellini.it/en/museum/
We have stayed here as a family several times and think it’s a great place to be based:

Finally we have flown out but often met UK groups who have driven.
Have I missed anything? I hope so so I can plan another trip.

You haven't mentioned the wonderful Righini Collection www.righiniauto.it/en/righini-collection.html
Also the Alfa Romeo museum although it is the other side of Milan so might be a bit more difficult to fit in www.museoalfaromeo.com
Of course there are also various workshops, shops and restaurants in the area that are worth visiting too such as Toni Auto opposite the old main gate of the Ferrari Factory who are usually okay with visitors and often have some interesting cars in.

Middle of Italy is a little country called San Marino. We visited a ferrari museum there called Maranello rosso. That was over 10 years ago, a great collection indeed.
