Antonio Melegari is the Media Production Manager at Audrain Automobile Museum & Collections. In 2018 he started volunteering at the Audrain Automobile Museum and quickly became an intern. He was hired full time in 2020. His first task was to start the Audrain Museum Network’s YouTube channel. He now runs the film department that creates 2 to 3 long form videos per week which are then posted on the network, inspiring 45,000 subscribers. Antonio was born in Brescia, Italy and moved to the US with his family at a young age. His father introduced him to F1 and MotoGP when he was quite young. He quickly became obsessed with all things motorsports, including sports cars, and superbikes. In 2021 he and Donald Osborne, the museum’s CEO, completed the Mille Miglia together in a 1940 Siata 1100 Viotti coupe.
