Il Grande Libro Delle Moto Italiane Anni 50 E 60

The 50s and 60s comprised an extremely significant epoch in the history of the motorcycle in which the foundations of what became known as the “economic miracle” were laid. When the car was still inaccessibly expensive and out of reach of most Italians, it was these two-wheeled machines that were the individual means of transport par excellence. But the scenario that evolved in subsequent decades was a different one, starting with the debut of the first small, much less expensive “utility” cars. It was then that the motorcycle began to lose popularity and remained the dream of just a few enthusiasts. The book returns to those two fascinating decades and brings them alive once more with its thousands of pictures, blended with a text brimming with interest.
