The Bologna Motor Show (known as the "Salone internazionale dell'auto e della moto di Bologna" in Italian) is an auto show scheduled to be held annually in December, in Bologna, Italy. It is recognized as an international show by the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles and it has grown in stature, following the last Turin International Motor Show, which was held in June 2000.[2] The 2009 and 2012 editions were the shortest events in its history, whereas the 2013 and 2015 editions were not held due to unfavourable economic conditions in Europe initially and a lack of planning by new organizers and interest by exhibitors, respectively.

As its name in Italian suggests, the Bologna Motor Show also plays the role of an annual Motorbike Exhibition, incorporating bicycle exhibitors for the first time in 1994.[3] Another highlight is its various motorsport competitions, which see the participation of leading drivers and motorbike riders.[4]
