VARAZZE CELEBRATES THE HISTORY OF MOTO GUZZI AND THE GENIUS OF GIOVANNI AND GIORGIO PARODI
Varazze revs up its engines with GP Days, an event celebrating the origins of Moto Guzzi and the deep bond between the town and the protagonists of its birth: Giovanni and Giorgio Parodi. An event that combines a passion for motorcycles, industrial heritage, and a spirit of innovation.
Giovanni Parodi: vision and industrial courage.
A Varazze entrepreneur, Giovanni Parodi was the strategic mind behind the birth of Moto Guzzi. With roots in the shipbuilding and aeronautical industries, he was able to transform an idea into a business, supporting his son Giorgio and the aviator Carlo Guzzi. Without him, the legend on two wheels might never have existed.
Varazze, city of know-how.
GP Days not only celebrate an iconic brand, but also a city with a strong industrial DNA. From shipyards to seaplanes, from workshops to laboratories, Varazze has been a crossroads of technology, craftsmanship, and entrepreneurial vision. A past that comes back to life, shared and enjoyed by all.
An event for everyone
GP stands for Giorgio Parodi, but today it is much more than that. It is a cultural and popular ecosystem made up of:
- Vintage and contemporary Moto Guzzi motorcycles
- Exhibitions, archives, and historical narratives
- Clubs, associations, and citizens involved
- Air shows and outdoor initiatives
Roots that look ahead.
GP Days are a living narrative of local identity. Not a simple commemoration, but an opportunity to rediscover values, visions, and stories capable of inspiring the present. An eagerly awaited event in Varazze, it ignites the Italian motorcycling imagination with pride and enthusiasm for the future.
