Moto Guzzi Museum
Moto Guzzi Museum
The Moto Guzzi Museum is located in Mandello del Lario, on the Lecco branch of Lake Como, in the heart of the historic Factory where the legend of the Eagle was born back in 1921.
It houses a very rich collection of over 150 exhibits including production motorcycles, sports motorcycles, experimental prototypes and engines, which alternate in a chronological path as testimony to the glorious history of an everlasting Italian and global legend.
The exhibition area reserved for production motorcycles consists of a collection of over 80 vehicles which, together with the story of the production history of the Mandello Eagle, offer a snapshot of the social and economic evolution of our country.
But Moto Guzzi also made history for the vehicles that characterized Italian mobility in the postwar period, such as the Motoleggera 65 “Guzzino” and the Galletto, or for “reinventing” the concept of the sports motorcycle at the end of the 1960s with the V7 Sport with the 90° V-twin engine.
Alongside the production motorcycles, the exhibition path dedicated to racing motorcycles unfolds, which, with their achievements, have written the pages of the sporting legend of the Mandello del Lario company. Among these are the Guzzi 4V from 1924, the motorcycle with which Guido Mentasti won the first European title on the Monza circuit; the 1946 Bicilindrica 500 of Omobono Tenni; the Guzzi 350 “World Champion” in 1955; and, more recently, the V7 record, the motorcycle derived from the production V7, which set 19 speed records in June and October 1969 at the Monza racetrack.
Completing the museum exhibition is the section "The Sound of Passion," where the most interesting films from Moto Guzzi's history are shown.
The museum showcases the Moto Guzzi history and culture, bringing together a rich collection of over 150 exhibition pieces of production motorcycles, sport bikes, prototypes and experimental engines.
The Moto Guzzi Museum is located in Mandello del lario, Lake Como, the original birth place of the Moto Guzzi Eagle which was established in 1921.
The exhibition area consists of a collection of over 80 vehicles, along with the story of the production history of the Mandello Eagle and offers an insight into the social and economic development of the country.
Moto Guzzi is remembered in history for creating vehicles for the mobility of Italians after the war, such as the lightweight 65 Guzzino and for "reinventing" the sport concept in the late sixties with the V7 Sport.
Besides production bikes the exhibition displays a dedication to motorcycle racing. Among these legendary race machines is the Guzzi 4V of 1924 which Guido Mentasti won the first European title at Monza, the twin 500 of 1946 of Omobono Tenni, the Guzzi 350 "World Champion" in 1955, and more recently the V7 series which set 19 speed records in June and October 1969 at the Monza circuit.
