, the first hundred years of the Mandello Eagle
The idea of the eagle with spread wings as a symbol was originally born from the common militancy of the founders Carlo Guzzi and Giorgio Parodi in the Air Service of the Royal Navy during the First World War.
In fact, during the conflict, the two friends, together with the pilot Giovanni Ravelli, decided to dedicate themselves, when the war was over, to the construction of motorcycles.
Ravelli, however, could not fulfill his dream because he was the victim of a plane crash in 1919. Guzzi and Parodi chose the Eagle as a symbol also to remember their friend.
In one hundred years of history, Moto Guzzi has signed victories on circuits all over the world, taking the Italian flag to as many as 14 World Titles.
It was the speed record bike, a symbol of growth for a country looking to the future, it was the bike of the Police, the Army and it extended this vocation also abroad, equipping the Californian Police and, in more recent times, that of Berlin and many cities of Europe as well as the guard of the king of Jordan.
In addition, Moto Guzzi is the bike of the Corazzieri, the elite corps accompanying the President of the Italian Republic.
Moto Guzzi is also synonymous with great journeys: it was 1928 when Giuseppe Guzzi reached the polar circle riding the GT 'Norge' and that tradition continues with travelers who leave every day, and all over the world, on their Moto Guzzi. to distant destinations.
The current history of Moto Guzzi, which in the world is loved and respected by all motorcyclists, whatever their two-wheeled vehicle, is that which sees the brand being a fundamental part of the Piaggio Group, the leading European manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, which Guzzi has preserved the original characters, promoted the values and wanted to bring it back to a leading role.
