The Museo Storico della Motorizzazione Militare (Historical Museum of Military Vehicles) moved into its current premises in the Scuola della Motorizzazione Militare (Military Vehicle School) in 1991. Overall it houses more than three hundred vehicles, including cars, trucks and sixty tracked vehicles. There are six exhibition halls covering the history of vehicles in Italian military service, including a library and archive. Exhibits include towed carts from the First World War, lorries, two light aircraft, a torpedo, an ambulance, and tanks from the Second World War and Post-War eras.
The museum was originally created in 1955 and has as its primary purpose the collection and preservation of historical reference material related to military vehicles. It also preserves material related to the Engineer, Artillery and Transport Corps. Its aim is to give witness to the overall technical and technological evolution of military transport.

This M15 was part of the post-World War 2 defence line along the Tagliamento River (source: M. Foti). The main gun was replaced by a machinegun and the internal parts were stripped away (source: C. Vermeulen). It was recovered by the Italian Army in the summer of 2009, probably by soldiers of the 132° Reggimento Carri at Cordenons, and sent to Rome for restoration (source: MILES Forum). It was in very poor condition when recovered and is assumed to have gone to Cecchignola for the restoration work to be done but that has not been confirmed.
