Riva is probably the most emblematic yacht builder. This legendary yacht, the first examples of which were made by hand entirely out of wood, embodied the easy-going Italian way of life from the 1920s to the 1960s. On Italian shores, an association was set up to celebrate La Dolce Vita by preserving the famous Riva, […]
