A visit to the Ducati Museum is a popular stop on Motor Valley tours from Bologna. Visitors can learn about the origins of Italy’s famed Ducati motorcycles, which were introduced in 1926; marvel over the impressive collection of vintage and modern motorcycles; admire the large display of trophies, photos, and memorabilia; discover key engineering milestones such as the introduction of the Desmodromic system, the L-twin engine, and the Trellis frame; and hear about iconic Ducati riders such as Troy Bayliss and Casey Stoner. One particularly interesting highlight is the illuminated race track featuring 33 iconic bikes. Visits to the Ducati Museum are often part of full-day tours that also include the nearby Ferrari Museum, the Fiorano Test Track, and the Lamborghini factory.
