Riva ship-owners from around the world got an exclusive preview of the new Riva 63′ Virtus. The prestigious “Beautiful Sixties” gala dinner took place on June 30 at the Monte Carlo Beach, an authentic institution of the Société des Bains de Mer since 1940. It was an occasion to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Acquarama and the wonderful 90^th birthday of Engineer Carlo Riva.

Finally, the “Acquarama Parade” took place on Sunday July 1, in front of the Monaco Yacht Club, headed by their inventor Carlo Riva.
