Cattolica and the Riviera lie at the heart of the Land of the Riders, an area that has been the birthplace and nurturing ground for some of the most important Italian and international motorcycling champions.
Here, the passion for motorbikes is in the air – on the roads, at the circuits and in the villages of the hinterland.
Complementing this heritage is the Motor Valley of Emilia-Romagna, a region that symbolises Italian motorsport, where, along the Via Emilia, you’ll find major brands, circuits, museums, collections and stories that have shaped the history of motor racing.
