Romano Bellini bought his first vintage Riva at the age of 16: it was a Riva Sebino from 1953. The purchase was made out of pure passion, at a time when mahogany Rivas had no economic value.
After a few years, he bought a 1956 first series Riva Ariston.
Gradually, over the course of 40 years, he began to buy special Riva boats.
Other boats in the collection were purchased in poor condition, to then be restored and sold but, at the end of the restoration, Romano Bellini liked the boats so much that he decided to keep them.
An unmissable exhibition for all lovers of Riva motorboats and more.
The private collection of vintage Rivas by Romano Bellini is the most complete in the world, made up of more than 17 examples, 4 of which are unique in the world. Heritage of inestimable value that guests have the opportunity to see in all their originality and history.
