The rumble of the Engines
Every year, thanks to the Moto Club GP, the Municipal Administration and Moto Guzzi fans, you can also see rare models of Moto Guzzi bikes in action.In fact, in addition to the Lodola, the Stornello, the Zigolo, the Galletto, the Falconi, the Aironi and the Sidecar, over the years we have also seen some special prototypes such as the military 3x3, the famous mechanical mule, or the legendary 8-cylinder.The event is organized every year during the weekend after the date of the foundation of the Società Anonima Moto Guzzi in Genoa (March 15, 1921).Hundreds of spectators can thus see and hear the rumble of the motorcycles of the golden years, when the brand won on all the circuits.
