When talk turns to glorious heritages, style and beauty, Riva's name is always heard. So it was only natural for the brand to be a partner at the exclusive Cavallino Classic Modena, the prestigious international Concours d'Elegance reserved for Ferrari road and racing models from all periods, held in Modena from May 17 to 19.

Now in its fourth edition, the Cavallino Classic Modena is an Italian expression of the famous Palm Beach Cavallino Classic Concours d'Elegance, which this year featured a magnificent Riva Anniversario. The Cavallino Classic Modena was held, as tradition requires, in Modena in the heart of Emilia-Romagna, the birthplace of Enzo Ferrari, the man who gave the world the Legend of the Reds and the Prancing Horse. The event is dedicated to that brilliant businessman and his magnificent cars, in fact, and was held in the evocative setting of Casa Maria Luigia, the mansion created by chef Massimo Bottura and Lara Gilmore.

Riva rose to the occasion by bringing to Modena the new Riva El-Iseo, its first full-electric powerboat, which it displayed in the centre of the pond in the park at Casa Maria Luigia, and also scale models of legendary Riva boats.

Equally admired was the Riva prize of honour: the winner of the category "Best of show gran turismo - Finest GT Ferrari Modena 2024" in this Concours d'Elegance was presented with the iconic helm of the Aquarama. The award ceremony took place on Saturday evening during a gala dinner at Massimo Bottura's Osteria Francescana after the splendid cavalcade of the competition's 25 cars through the centre of Modena.
