Race legend’s room of quiet contemplation

A museum celebrating the racing achievements of 15-time world champion Giacomo Agostini has opened in his hometown of Bergamo, Italy. The attraction was designed by architect Michele Giavarini as a trophy room for the former grand prix star to keep his collection of more than 350 trophies.  

Alongside these, the display also includes some of his former race bikes, as well as helmets, leathers and more – all of which helped him to become the most successful GP rider of all time.

Now open to the public, visits must be booked in advance by groups of eight or more people. Agostini said: “The history of my life is all there in this one room and being able to spend some time there alone with my thoughts, going back to those extraordinary memories, fills me with joy.”
