About us
Quality is built together
We work every day to give you the highest professional standards, adapting our teaching — in the classroom and behind the wheel — to the way you learn.
Because getting your licence is not just passing a test: it is the confidence to drive on your own, every day.
A story that has travelled with you since 1950
We are one of the first driving schools founded in Turin after the Second World War, started by Riccardo Ugaglia. For more than seventy years we have been teaching whole generations to drive safely and responsibly.
In 1983 the business passed to his son Piero and his wife Marina, who ran it for more than forty years, joined on this family journey by Carmen (from 1986) and Francesco (from 2013). Today Carmen and Francesco take up that baton, carrying the school forward with the same long-standing dedication.
The faces change, but our promise stays the same: putting the human relationship and empathy at the centre of everything. We want you to feel at home, so that driving becomes a calm, safe and rewarding experience.
Why choose us
Getting your licence is an important milestone: that is why you deserve the support of professionals who also know how to understand and reassure you. We work every day to offer you a teaching method tailored to you, one that respects your feelings, your pace and your needs.
No commitment: come along one evening at 18:45 and see how we work.
If we had to sum up our strengths in a few words, these are the ones we would choose:
- 1
Experience
We believe enthusiasm is essential, but it is our long history in teaching that has ensured, to this day, the success and peace of mind of thousands of new drivers on the road.
- 2
Inclusion and passion
We support you in every lesson with great care and patience. Our staff are qualified instructors and teachers, empathetic and constantly up to date, ready to adopt specific methods for students with specific learning disorders (DSA) too, and to make learning easier for people from abroad, using clear, accessible language.
- 3
Trust
The human relationship is our strength. Our students know they will find in us an attentive guide and a point of reference who is always there. We combine solid teaching with an empathetic approach, to give you all the confidence you need to take to the road safely.
