On 15 March 1921, The “Societa Anonima Moto Guzzi” was set up at Mandello Del Lario, To ‘Fabricate and sell motorcycles and other activities relevant to or associated wit the metal and mechanical industries”.

The partners in the enterprise were the well known Genovese ship owner Enamuele Vittorio Parodi, his son Giogio and ex comrade in arms in the Italian Air Force and motorcycling enthusiast, Carlo Guzzi.

Moto Guzzi has led Italy's motorcycling manufacture, enjoyed prominence in world-wide motorcycle racing, and led the industry in ground-breaking innovation — for the greater part of its history.

Today Moto Guzzi impresses its heritage on a range of motorcycles in touring, cruising, racing and naked configurations — each with the company's iconic, air-cooled 90° V-twin engines.
