The Consulate General of Italy in Chicago, Piaggio Group and the Italian Cultural Institute in Chicago are virtually coming together to celebrate Moto Guzzi’s 100th birthday on Italian Design Day 2021.
Jeffrey Schnapp (Harvard University), Greg Lynn (Moto Guzzi museum designer), Miguel Galluzzi (Head of Piaggio Group’s Advanced Design Center) and Marco D’Acunzo (Chief Marketing Officer Piaggio Group Americas) will introduce Moto Guzzi 100 Years — a book curated by Jeffrey Schnapp to celebrate the first 100 years of the iconic Italian motorcycle. “A writer, an actor, three journalists, a DJ, a designer, an astronaut and a cultural historian recount their passion for the Mandello Eagle,” explains Schnapp. “Their tales are interspersed with the exploration of the past, the present, and the future of the company through images of vehicles, places and above all stories of individuals, famous and ordinary, who have made the history of the brand.” Mark your calendars for tomorrow and register here to celebrate Italian Design Day virtually:
