Ducati – Fennyblack

Ducati firstly produced radio tools, then motor and motorbikes

Do you know that the most popular brand of Italian motorbikes Ducati was firstly a Radio Company?! 😳

Its name was Società Radio Brevetti Ducati, based in Bologna (which is not Borgo Panigale, but in the very heart of the city) and founded by the 3 Ducati brothers. One of them, infact, was a physicist and he firstly discovered how to connect an Italian radio station with an American one: thanks to a condenser that improved the radio transmissions, Ducati business was boosted all over the world, and they became one of the leader company for radio tools and freequencies.

Then our history told us about the Second World War, and in that period, Ducati was asked to produce useful products for the Army: in that moment it started to develop specific bikes, or better, motorbikes as Cucciolo, the very first one:

Imola Round ended with a wonderful experience for both Aruba.it Racing – Ducati Superbike Team (the new Ducati official team of the year) and people and fan going up and down the Dekra Tower of the circuit and all around the hospitality..a triumph of shots and flashes and pictures and families,

everybody together for the same reasons, no violence, no bad scenes and sketches, nobody arguing,

but just a sane passion for motors and sports and Superbike.
