Riva: the motorboat legend from Lago d’Iseo

Riva is name that sets pulses racing. Thoughts immediately wander to the striking mahogany models from the mid-Twentieth Century and the black and white photos of prominent boat owners such as Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot and Sean Connery.

Founded in 1842 by Pietro Riva in Sarnico on Lake Iseo, Riva became a symbol of luxury and lifestyle in the 1950s. This book is dedicated to the fascination of the Riva cult. It covers a range of topics, from the history of Riva, the philosophy behind the construction and the typical colours of the boat, an overview of the classic and new models, to the living legend of today.

Large-format photos and entertaining texts make this high-quality coffee-table book the perfect gift for boat and art lovers.
