Ducati, Moto Guzzi, MV Agusta, Vespa — two-wheeled Italy from racing to commuting.
Plan your Italy trip →Ducati (Bologna): The passion brand. V-twin sound, racing heritage (World Superbike domination), and the most beautiful motorcycles ever made. Museo Ducati + factory tour in Borgo Panigale. Moto Guzzi (Mandello del Lario, Lake Como): Italy's oldest motorcycle brand (1921). The lakeside factory is a pilgrimage site. Open Days every September draw 30,000 fans. MV Agusta (Varese): Art on two wheels. Vespa/Piaggio (Pontedera, Tuscany): The Museo Piaggio tells the story of the scooter that motorized post-war Italy.
In Rome, Naples, and most Italian cities, scooters and motorcycles aren't hobbies — they're the primary commute vehicle. The motorino (50cc scooter) is an Italian teenager's rite of passage at 14. Rome's traffic is 40% two-wheeled. The sight of a businessman in a suit on a Vespa, briefcase between his feet, weaving through Roman traffic, is Italy distilled into one image.
We plan trips that go deeper than sightseeing — into the culture that makes Italy unforgettable.
