What's NEW in NZ MotorcyclingMV AGUSTA AT VOLANDIA ![]() Varese, 17 th August 2010 – A museum of sixty thousand square metres. Thereare no dusty paintings: there is the history of flight, a little walk from Malpensa airport. Volandia – furnished in the old sheds of Officine Caproni, with five theme sections, more than 30 aircraft and one thousand models in exhibition – tells the most fascinating challenge, and it will do it through the history of the aeronautical companies, intersecting symbolically and in facts with the history of MV Agusta motorcycles, which are exhibited in an area of the museum. The district of Varese is the cradle where motorcycles and aircraft are celebrated. It is the historical premises of the Italian motorcycle and aeronautical industry, and even today in this territory the world’s leading industries operate. They are leaders in technology, quality of the products, know-how and exclusivity. At the entrance of one of the biggest world museums, dedicated to aviation, in a devoted area of the VOLANDIA STORE, one feels hanging among past, present and future, two wheels and aircraft. The store offers much: books, gadgets, historical papers, including clothing and accessories with MV Agusta trademark, that might even be purchased after admiring the new models of the company of Varese. Brutale and F4, the dream of all motorcyclists, who cheer them as the most beautiful motorcycles in the world, a summary of technology, innovation and design. The museums are open every day, excluding Mondays, from 10.00 am to 6.00 pm.

Among all guests who have had the chance of appreciating the “Made in MV” refined quality products, the visit of the young Minister for Sport and Culture, Mr. Yoo Inchon, was particularly agreeable, who remained fascinated by the elegant and sporty design of the Italian motorcycles. The store appears with an innovative concept nicknamed “Motorcycle & Coffee” and couples an extremely well-kept and minimalist showroom, dedicated to motorcycles, clothing and special parts, to convivial spaces well characterized and studied for hosting cultural prestigious events. Close to the central body an outside hi-tech elevator leads to an efficient area of assistance and service, where specialised technicians trained by the mother company take care of the best motorcycles of the world with high professionalism. The care lavished by MV Agusta and Motoquad is only the first step of an important journey to international expansion, which will enable the historical brand of Varese to reply to the increasing demand of the Asian markets for very high quality, taste and refined products, exact characteristics of the “Made in Italy”.
