AGO’S PERSONAL MUSEUM
OPENS TO THE PUBLIC
W
hen it comes to Grand Prix racers, Giacomo
Agostini is a legend who stands on his own.
With five World Championship titles,
123 Grand Prix victories, 18 Italian Championships
titles, 10 Tourist Trophies’ wins for a total of
311 victorious races Agostini’s racing career
is the most successful in history. Taking place
over a near two-decade run from the early
60s to the late 70s, most of Agostini’s career
was spent under the MV Agusta colours.
Memorabilia from his long career now
officially has its place in a museum to preserve
and share it with MV Agusta enthusiasts
and racing fans from all over the world.
The museum was designed as a private trophy
room by architect Michele Giavarini for the
champion to keep his more than 350 trophies,
with the idea of also opening it to the public.
Located in Agostini’s home town of Bergamo,
the museum hosts some of the historic
bikes used by Agostini as well as helmets,
race suits and personal objects, displayed in
chronological order.
