From the Press Release they just sent me:

Modena Motor Gallery will be held on 26 and 27 September 2015 and open now to foreign cars and motorcycles!
On Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September, the third edition of Motor Gallery is back at Modena Fiere with numerous related exhibitions, a new and exciting programme and a big novelty: the opening of the exhibition also to cars and motorcycles from other countries

Modena Motor Gallery, scheduled for 26 and 27 September at the Fairground Area of the motor city.
With 20% more visitors than in the first year, the second edition of the event confirmed the high level of visitor satisfaction also for the original choice to host exclusively Italian vintage cars and motorcycles: this year Motor Gallery is also open to cars and motorcycles from other countries, to involve new visitors and exhibitors.

One of the main events will be a large exhibition on the historic Autodromo di Modena, which will focus on the adventures of men, intelligence and motors tied to this place - organised in partnership with the Circolo della Biella - One of the most renowned Italian Clubs. Indeed, for over 20 years, Modena and its racetrack were the small European Indianapolis, representing an important record of the growth of motor racing in the 50s and 60s: Thanks to the "racetrack", Maserati, Ferrari, De Tomaso, Stanguellini and craft workshops of extraordinary value have had the opportunity to develop, quickly transfer winning ideas and concepts to be used in races. Some unique pieces will be exhibited among others, such as: Ferrari F2 single-seater, 1950 Stanguellini Delfino, Maserati 250F, Barchetta Maserati, Fiat 1100, and for motorbikes: MV4 cylinders, HD 250 Villa.

There will be a second exhibition on Tecno from Bologna and it will show how it is possible for a small business to defy the world of Formula 1, and led two brothers from Bologna to interact with the most important players worldwide in the field of motor racing. The exhibition, entitled "Tecno from Bologna: when a small company challenges the racing world", will allow for admiring the beautiful single-seaters created by the Brothers Pederzani, but also to retrace the most important moments of their singular adventure recalled by the voice of the protagonists.

And also: an exhibition in the memory of Juan Manuel Fangio and one dedicated to the beautiful Giordani a pedali.

The first edition of Modena Motor Gallery Photocontest "People and Motors" promoted by AC Factory, photo contest open to all visitors to the show, will be held for the first time at an event of this kind.
The Theme of the Modena Motor Gallery Photocontest, will be the emotions, expressions and the eyes of the public at the Show and the "motors", the protagonists of the Show! A contest which is open to everyone: visitors, photography enthusiasts, amateurs and professionals.

These are just some of the events at the Modena Motor Gallery, an event that is already establishing itself as one of the most interesting and original on the European scene and the objective of which is the promotion of "Made in Italy" and the enhancement of a great heritage that is the envy of the whole world. Past and present meet in Modena to tell a long story of innovation, technology, knowledge; this is why at the 2015 edition, the organisers have decided to give more space to craftsmen, with a "Road" dedicated to themwhere there will be panel beaters, upholsterers, mechanics, electricians, historical workshops, restorers. Professionals who care for, maintain, give new life to unique pieces with passion and competence.

The "Road of the craftsmen" will host over 50 of the most successful companies in Italy and will focus on the protection and formation of this sector which is likely to be downsized due to the lack of qualified young staff; it is no coincidence that ACI Storico It has decided to select Modena as the most suitable place to support, promote and qualify this sector.
Three ModenaFiere Halls are dedicated to car and motorcycle dealers, the most prestigious clubs and associations, publishing, automobilia, spare parts, accessories and gift items. Simultaneously, in "Piazza dei Privati", there will be an opportunity to exchange or sell one's vintage car or motorcycle. Modena Motor Gallery is a project that aims to promote the creative, technical, entrepreneurial capabilities of craftsmen and companies that want to increasingly establish themselves as the "Salotto Buono" of vintage motor cars. The exhibition-exchange is thus intended to enhance the automotive industry, from sheet metal worker to the painter, and the small specialised craft entrepreneurship, but also the excellent food and wine in the year of Milan EXPO 2015, which will not lack due to the qualified presence of Piacere Modena, which represents consortia of typical local products to seal an extraordinary combination: Motors and Flavours.

The third edition is organised by Vision up srl and Modena Fiere with the sponsorship of BPER: the Bank and is sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce of Modena, Promo, the City of Modena, ACI Storico. Modena Motor Gallery can be reached easily with cheap flights to Bologna airport. Modena - Bologna: 40 km
