The birth of the Legend 

The date is 5 March 1921. The setting is the office of notary Paolo Cassanello, on Corso Aurelio Saffi in Genova. It is the moment “Moto Guzzi SA”, is officially founded, a public company with the intent described as “The manufacture and sales of motorcycles and other pertinent activities associated with the engineering industry”.
The partners are Emanuele Vittorio Parodi, a high-profile ship owner, his son Giorgio, and Giorgio’s friend and ex-fellow pilot in the Italian Airforce, Carlo Guzzi. Giorgio and Carlo had been great friends with Giovanni Ravelli, also a pilot, who had died on 11 August 1919, and it is in his memory that the winged eagle is incorporated into the Moto Guzzi logo.

 

Towards the Future 

In 2004 Moto Guzzi becomes part of the Piaggio Group and new vehicle production is stepped up. In 2005 the Breva and the Griso 1100 make their debut, followed a year later by the 1200 Sport. It is also the year Moto Guzzi returns to the Grand Touring market. In 2007 the House of Mandello, with momentum gathering, presents the Griso 8V, Bellagio and Stelvio, as well as celebrating the Eagle brand with Giornate Mondiali Moto Guzzi (GMG) or International Moto Guzzi Days, an event that will go on to become an unmissable annual appointment for Guzzi enthusiasts the world over.
A succession of new models arrive on the scene, from the V7 Classic and V7 Café to various iterations of the V12, an entire range built around the new V 1200-cc twin cylinder with 8V, the V7 Racer, right through to 2011 when a special California model is introduced to mark the 90-year anniversary of Moto Guzzi. There are many other vehicles we could name, but what is important is that in this extremely dynamic period Moto Guzzi shows no sign of slowing down. Instead, it is committed to accelerating its trajectory, racing towards a future that it will continue to help shape rather than resting on its laurels. Rest assured that despite reaching the grand milestone of 100 years in 2021, the Eagle will continue to soar.

Introducing Stelvio  

Stelvio, the Moto Guzzi modern adventure tourer, is designed to accompany you on a journey that knows no limits, in eye-catching style and complete with technological features that take the riding experience to another level. 
The name is a homage to the mighty Stelvio, the highest mountain pass in Italy. Containing 48 bends, the road that snakes through it is part of motorcycling lore synonymous with fun, discovery and conquest.
