It was the first automobile to circulate in Italy. Gaetano Rossi – head of the large textile company Lanerossi – goes to Paris to order the Peugeot Type 3 with chassis number 25 (and Daimler engine number 124). He takes it to Piovene Rocchette, in the province of Vicenza, in the beginning of 1892. The vehicle was regularly used for eleven years, then sold to young rampant Guido Lazzari from Friuli, then to an antiquarian, and, finally, to the Museum. Later it was recognized as the first automobile ever to be sold in Italy and was therefore carefully restored by Peugeot in 2007.
