Riva in the movie: a superb short film
Equally superb is the soundtrack with a tribute to Nino Rota, the brilliant composer who helped make so many of Fellini’s films unforgettable, not to mention other masterpieces like The Godfather and The Leopard.
” The celebration of cinema with Riva’s magnificent boats, which have starred in so many films and introduced the whole world to Italian style and creativity: that is our aspiration for Riva in the Movie, a powerful short film starring the most accomplished and famous Italian actor in the world, Pierfrancesco Favino, against the backdrop of Venice’s splendours – Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi says – Riva in the Movie is dedicated to everyone who believes in the magical power of imagination and talent”.

300 pages, 39 films with their original posters, 300 on-set and backstage photographs, 77 actresses and 110 actors. These are the numbers that describe a precious and exciting book to both read and browse through, which mastefully interwines the history of cinema and that of modern yachting.
Every film is accompanied by a summary of events from the year it was released and an overview of a Riva model from the time, to paint a picture of society and the world at the time. Lots of facts and details about the movie production are unveiled by the elegant pen of Franco Barbolini.
” You may well not believe it,
” This book, which I like you will like as mush as I did, is also the proof of how it is possible to make culture through an industrial, or artisanal in the highest sense of the term, product, making the Sarnico-based shipyard a dream factory for the owners from the five continents – Alberto Galassi continues – At Ferretti Group, we have had the honour, as well as the magnificent yet tremendous responsibility, of flying the standard of the most famous brand in the world of sailing for over 20 years. Carlo Riva continued to show his support over the years, and we will never stop feeling his presence, as his genius is rooted in the DNA of these extraordinary speedboats. This book is dedicated to him and to his life.”
