When Riva Met Lamborghini

When one wistfully dreams of luxurious destinations for the Succession set, like Lake Como or the Amalfi Coast, the reveries almost undoubtedly include visions of skipping across the glassy surface on a Riva Aquarama motorboat. Crystal-clear Italian water splashing against its sleek mahogany sides, a beautiful partner at your hip with hair flapping in the wind. You stare purposefully through the wraparound windshield, guiding the steering wheel with casual determination—allowing the art of Dolce far Niente to lead you where it will for the day. It is a similar reverie that inspired customizer and designer Matteo Fustinoni to craft his latest, and greatest, Hazard Motorcycle yet: the Ghisarama. Legend has it that two of Italy’s greatest entrepreneurs and lovers of speed met on Lago d’Iseo in the summer of 1962, shared a Campari, and made a pact to craft the fastest, and most beautiful, Aquarama ever— which is where Matteo’s story begins.

You grew up near Lago d’Iseo, the home of Riva. What’s your best memory of an Aquarama?
