A collection that includes the motorbikes that were the protagonists of mass motoring between the end of the Second World War and 1965. Realised by Emilio Bariaschi, this collection is perfectly able to tell the story of the roaring years of motorcycling in Italy, the years that made Gilera, Moto Guzzi and MV famous all over the world.
