Two years ago we were greeting for the last time one of the most brilliant figures in the world of motorboats: the inimitable Carlo Riva, father of some of the most beautiful motorboats of the twentieth century, Riva boats.
Today, Ferretti Group, the boating giant of which the Riva brand is part, has decided to dedicate to the Engineer a short film, “The Master Bridge (La Plancia)”, which was previewed on the occasion of the fourteenth edition of Cortinametraggio.

These and many others are the stars who have chosen the models of the Riva fleet, symbol of essential elegance and icon of timeless style.
