Mandello del Lario, 5 September 2026 – The Moto Guzzi parade from Lecco to Mandello once again proved to be the highlight of the GMG – Moto Guzzi World Days.
The 1,500-strong procession of Moto Guzzis of every era and model was led by the Corazzieri. The President of the Italian Republic’s Honour Guard rode their official Moto Guzzi California 1400 motorcycles, followed immediately by MotoGP riders Marco Bezzecchi and Lorenzo Savadori, together with Max Biaggi, all on Moto Guzzis.
The parade reached the Moto Guzzi factory, flanked by two rows of cheering spectators, where the entire Aprilia Racing team – including Massimo Rivola and Jorge Martín – joined the celebrations, greeting the crowd from the Virgin Radio stage, which provided the soundtrack to this year’s GMG.
On this great day of motorcycling festivities, Mandello del Lario welcomed nearly 30,000 enthusiasts from around the world to celebrate 105 years of Moto Guzzi and to visit the Eagle’s new home. The new Factory and new Museum once again welcomed thousands of visitors, who had the chance to discover the new spaces, conceived as a multifunctional hub where innovation, experimentation and heritage come together to create a unique cultural destination.
The celebrations continue until tomorrow. The Factory and Museum will remain open to the public free of charge, as will the Motoplex shopping area and the spacious tree-lined squares with their relaxation areas and street food.
The programme of free test rides across the entire Moto Guzzi range will continue throughout Sunday: Stelvio, V100 Mandello, V85 and V7 will also be available for any enthusiast wanting to try them on the road.
