When we talk about Agusta, our thoughts immediately turn skyward, to the helicopters that have made Italian aviation history. But there is another equally fascinating story, one that moves on two wheels and bears a name that has inspired generations of enthusiasts: MV Agusta.

The Agusta Museum is a unique place of its kind, located in Cascina Costa di Samarate, in the province of Varese, and curated by former employees of the company. It has the most iconic Italian-made helicopters on display, but in this video we will delve into the more “earthly” part of the museum, the one dedicated to the legendary motorcycle manufacturer MV Agusta, the pride of Italian engineering, capable of combining technical innovation, design, and a long series of sporting successes.

Officially founded in 1945, the motorcycle manufacturer was a natural extension of the Agusta family's great industrial and military adventure, which had already conquered the skies. But it was Domenico Agusta, a lover of mechanics and speed, who took a chance on two wheels, creating a brand that would write indelible pages in the history of world motorcycling.

Inside the museum, you can admire the legendary motorcycles up close. From the first 98 cc models of the 1940s, created to motorize an Italy recovering from the war, to the custom-built racing bikes that dominated international tracks with champions such as Giacomo Agostini, Carlo Ubbiali, and Mike Hailwood.

Each motorcycle tells a story: that of a family, an era, an entrepreneurial vision that never compromised on quality and aesthetics. Walking through the exhibition gallery, you can feel the deep connection between technology and passion, between art and engineering. The streamlined fairings, sculpted fuel tanks, and engines that look like sculptures are the result of a mechanical culture that has set an example for the world.

In the video, we will discover rare and unusual models, technical curiosities, and understand the passion that volunteers put into keeping this little corner of history alive. The Agusta Museum is not just a collection of exhibits, but a living place, capable of exciting, telling stories, and inspiring. It is well worth a visit!
