March 2026 (G.T.) – 150 vintage beauties, polished and lovingly cared for, are ready to parade at the big event scheduled in Mandello del Lario on March 15, 2026. It's the annual and traditional "Avviamento Motori" (Engine Startup), marking the start of the new motorcycling season. Meticulously organized down to the last detail by the Moto Club Antiche Moto Brianza, in collaboration with the Mandello clubs. This year, the event coincides with the 105th anniversary of Moto Guzzi, the world-renowned eagle brand.

The grand gathering and parade, right in front of Moto Guzzi's historic headquarters, will be truly special. It will feature a showcase of the most iconic and rare models, produced from the 1920s to 1980, divided by type and engine size: Lightweight Motorcycles; 1950s; Under-the-Cylinder; Prototypes and Racing Bikes; 1970s and 1980s

With a special tribute to the Moto Guzzi Le Mans, in memory of Bruno Scola, considered the "magician of Guzzi racing bikes": his bike will open the dedicated parade.

Stuff for nostalgics? Not at all: lifelong Guzzi enthusiasts, young bikers succumbing to the distinctive allure of vintage Guzzis, collectors showing off the top vehicles in their collections and matching outfits. Participants from all over Italy and abroad, and a large crowd in attendance to applaud and take photos: over 2,000 fans are expected.
