The exquisite hand-crafted and hand-inlaid mahogany presentation box is the worthy holder of a splendid volume, filled with new and wonderful surprises.
Inside the presentation box, there is a USB memory stick with two must-see short films: “RIVA IN THE MOVIE”, featuring Pierfrancesco Favino, and “La Plancia”, filmed in 2017 to commemorate Carlo Riva by telling the story of his relationship with the office that he occupied for almost 10 years and that he remained attached to until the end of his life.
RIVA CORSA. The Origin of the Myth is a book that will be greatly appreciated by Riva and yachting enthusiasts as well as readers who love great stories. It tells of the world of boat racing in which Serafino Riva, Carlo Riva's father, won an impressive series of victories, titles and records starting from the 1930s. That was how Cantiere F.lli Riva earned its renown as the “best builder of outboard racing boats”. This outstanding record of sporting prowess, which contributed to the development of Carlo Riva's genius, is superbly illustrated with 200 black and white and color images, many of them hitherto unseen, printed on 167 magnificent pages presented in an elegant binding. The book is edited by Riccardo Sassoli, with texts by Riccardo Magrini.
RIVA CORSA. The Origin of the Myth is a compelling and fascinating book which provides a crucial insight into the origins of these unrivalled speedboats.
Not to be missed for the world.
