The Ferruccio Lamborghini Dome in Pieve di Cento, today Eurotarget's historic headquarters.

Discover the Dome

A heritage to preserve

The Dome is the only surviving building of the historic Lamborghini tractor factory in Pieve di Cento. Built in 1960 as the plant's operational heart, it was the «Attrezzeria» (tooling workshop).

Restored by Eurotarget and reopened in 2025, it unites the memory of Ferruccio Lamborghini's great enterprise with the life of a modern corporate headquarters: a place where past and future coexist.

Past and Future

The building stands as a centre of excellence: it is the first historic factory where the visionary entrepreneur's adventure began, and where he kept his own office.

In 2006 most of the factory was demolished, with the sole exception of the historic Dome, which remained standing as a tangible testament to «Italian Industrial Archaeology»: a symbol of history and of the many families who worked here.

Past and Future

Towards the west wind

The building's circular architecture is conceived as a compass pointing west, symbolically recalling the direction of the west wind. The twelve pillars distributed along the circular structure serve to trace this specific spatial and geometric orientation.

From the road...

From the road, the singular circular structure can be seen, characterized by twelve radial pillars supporting its futuristic roof. It features clean surfaces, large windows, and an elegant yet modern style, integrated into the area's commercial network. The dome stands alone, standing out against the plain, like a monument and a tangible testament to the area's mechanical genius. In the 1970s, the dome was not an isolated building, but the pulsating center and calling card of an imposing and frenetic industrial complex of approximately 100,000 square meters: the Lamborghini Tractor plant. From the windows, the "Cavaliere" dominated the entire square.
