Italian Air Force Museum, Aviation museum in Bracciano, Italy.
The Italian Air Force Museum spans across five exhibition halls covering 16,000 square meters, displaying aircraft, engines, and military equipment through different periods.
In 1908, the location marked a milestone as the first Italian military airship took flight at Vigna di Valle, establishing Italy's oldest airport infrastructure.
The museum collection includes photography equipment, radio devices, weapons, and aviation-related artworks that demonstrate the influence of aviation on Italian culture.
The museum operates Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 to 16:30, weekends until 18:00, with tickets priced at 10 euros for adults and 5 euros for specific categories.
The documentation center named after General Umberto Nobile maintains records of polar expeditions and houses a library containing over 6,000 volumes.

Aerospace museums hold airplanes that have marked the history of flight, often displayed in large hangars or outside. You can see military aircraft used during world conflicts, commercial planes that carried the first passengers, as well as experimental prototypes and objects from the early days of flying. These collections tell the story of how flying has grown, from early attempts to space rockets. Important places include the national museum of the United States Air Force in Ohio, which shows hundreds of aircraft sorted by period, and the Royal Air Force Museum in London, which shares British aviation history. In Europe, the Museo del Aire in Madrid displays over 150 Spanish military planes, and the Caproni Museum in Trentino gathers dozens of Italian aircraft along with many technical documents. In Russia, the Central Museum of the Air Forces near Moscow keeps Soviet-era airplanes and engines. These museums help visitors understand how flying developed in each country and how it changed travel and moving around.
