The racetracks of Romagna
Discovering the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli Read more
In Romagna, a passion for racing and engines runs through our veins. It is rare to find a place with such a high concentration of car and motorbike manufacturers, racetracks, museums and collectors.
All this has earnt it the name of Motor Valley and there’s no better way to describe a region that has been historically linked to producing racing cars and motorbikes, a land that has made speed its way of life. Today, this tradition is kept alive thanks to constant technological research and development and top-level professional and academic itineraries.
There are so many places that cultivate the passion for engines; from the celebrated circuit of Misano, to the factories and museums of world-famous car and motorbike brands, like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Dallara and Ducati, to museums and collections, such as the museum dedicated to the late Marco Simoncelli, or “Sic” as he was known, and finally, mini-motorbike, go-kart and motor-cross tracks.
The legend of the Riders’ Land - a fascinating territory between Romagna and the Republic of San Marino where, over the years, some of the greatest Italian and international motorcycling champions have come from - has grown around the Misano World Circuit. This means Romagna, with its riders, companies, artisans and workers, is not only the hotbed for the stars of motorcycling of today and yesterday, but also an area that seems to have been deliberately created to be discovered, experience and enjoyed by motorbike.
From the roads that follow the coastline, to the hills with their charming, winding rivers, to the castles surrounded by villages that watch over the roads and valleys, as they have always done, there are endless opportunities for those with a passion for travelling around by motorbike. Romagna Motorcycle has been created with this goal in mind - to bring together the quality tourism offer that Romagna boasts and the enthusiasts who’ve see motorbikes as the ideal way to travel freely and without mediation.
It’s for these motorcycling tourists - looking for nature and beauty, for opportunities and advice, for wellbeing and good food - that Romagna Motorcycle offers the key to accessing and really getting to know this region, showcasing on its web pages the first five carefully-designed and tried and tested itineraries of a project destined to grow over time.
