Rome, 26 May 2016 – The President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella, received the senior officers of the Piaggio Group at the Quirinale Palace.

THE VIDEO OF THE EVENT: THE MOTO GUZZI
FOR THE “CORAZZIERI” REGIMENT
During the meeting, the Piaggio Group managers presented Mr. Mattarella with the twenty Moto Guzzi California Touring 1400 motorcycles that will be used by the Corazzieri, the regiment that forms the Guard of Honor and security corps of the President of the Italian Republic.
The new California Touring 1400 bikes, produced in a special version for the Corazzieri, were manufactured in the factory in Mandello del Lario where the Moto Guzzi company – which became part of Roberto Colaninno’s Piaggio Group in 2004 – was established in 1921.
The MG California 1400 motorcycles presented to President Mattarella continue the long tradition between Moto Guzzi and the “Corazzieri”. At the regiment’s “Maggiore Alessandro Negri di Sanfront” barracks, the historical motorcycle hall exhibits a large number of vintage Moto Guzzi motorcycles, used over the years by the Italian head of State’s escort.
