Motorcycles
It was love at first sight between Italy and two wheels, which established great brands and a tradition admired throughout the world.
On circuits and roads, the Italian motor industry was able to put some of the most iconic motorcycles and scooters of the Twentieth century in circulation. Just think about the Vespa, Moto Guzzi, MV Agusta and Aprilia. This is probably why the titles won in motorcycling sports and the number of items sold all over the world are not counted; and it is also probably why the Japanese have also decided to produce several models here, as in Atessa. In Italy, two wheels are synonymous with beauty, performance and freedom.
