About

The Italian word "ciao" is an informal greeting used for both "hello" and "goodbye" CIAO – Celebrating Italian Automotive Passion Since 2006 Founded in 2006, CIAO is a vibrant community dedicated to enthusiasts of all Italian marques—cars, motorbikes, scooters, tractors, and even pushbikes. Whether you own a classic beauty or dream of restoring one, CIAO welcomes you into a passionate, socially oriented club that thrives on connection, camaraderie, and a shared love for Italy’s legendary engineering. More than a club, CIAO is a support network for those restoring older vehicles, providing guidance, encouragement, and a space to celebrate the craftsmanship of Italian design. From lively meet-ups and road convoy’s to hands-on workshops, we keep the spirit of Italian motoring alive. Join CIAO and be part of a tradition that honors the past, embraces the present, and fuels the future of Italian automotive excellence. CIAO Social – Where Passion Meets Community At CIAO, our love for Italian vehicles extends beyond the road—it’s about the people who share the journey. Our club thrives on family-friendly events that bring together enthusiasts of all ages, from seasoned restorers to the youngest admirers. Join us for coffee runs, where conversations flow as smoothly as the espresso. Enjoy picnics in scenic locations, perfect for sharing stories and admiring timeless Italian craftsmanship. Our restaurant gatherings celebrate Italy’s rich culinary heritage, pairing great food with even better company. Plus, our calendar is packed with special events, from group drives to workshops, ensuring there’s always something exciting to look forward to. Whether you're here for the vehicles or the vibrant social scene, CIAO is more than a club—it’s a family united by a passion for Italian engineering and a love for life. Come along and be part of the experience! If you don’t have an Italian auto but like other aspects of our club, come and talk to us about membership.
