MADE IN MANDELLO
The old Moto Guzzi factory and Museum is located in Mandello del lario, Lake Como, the original birth place of the Moto Guzzi Eagle which was established in 1921
‘ GUZZI’ S NEW DIGS
In what must be one of the good news stories of the era we find ourselves in, Moto Guzzi is going its own way. Sure, Moto Guzzi has always danced to its own beat but a whole new production facility? The‘ Made In Mandello’ catchcry has been around for over a century, which is like biblical times in the motorcycle industry. Spectacularly located between the mountains and the lake, its historic site is undergoing a complete transformation that will be completed mid next year. With most parts already operational, the revamp has completely new production lines with the very latest technology used to produce one of the most instantly recognisable ranges in motorcycling. For the Guzzi fans out there( read that how you will) don’ t fret, the history remains central to the brand and the historic content is going nowhere. It will still be there to see should you take a trip to the hallowed halls of Moto Guzzi. The rebirthed facility will be even more of a hub for the loyal with event spaces, café, larger museum space and Motoplex store. Oh, and there is a new bar there as well. The whole place has viewing areas, so you can watch the production for yourself. In fact, there is a video of the massive undertaking on the Piaggio Group website. Just hit the Made In Mandello video link.
