By Giorgio Sarti. Here, Sarti talks of legendary Italian marques that helped make history, like Moto Guzzi, Benelli, MV Agusta and Ducati. But, as always, his text does not speak of history and technical matters alone, it also focuses on the fashion, culture, men and women of the period, painting an exhaustive and exciting picture of those years for the reader. The book is divided into three parts. The first examines the historical and cultural context in which these bikes first appeared. The second gives a panorama of the bigger selling models and the history of the various marques. The third segment showcases the 10 most significant Italian motorcycles of the Seventies, and minutely analyses them so as to provide enthusiasts with the many elements essential to understanding the various series. This section covers the story and technology of every model, maintenance, riding, production numbers and collecting. A story illuminated by a wealth of especially varied illustrative material, made up of a wide range of Seventies pictures and documents. ITALIAN TEXT Hardback, 240 Pages, Size: 243 x 270mm. Book is new and unread.
