The soft hum of the engine is music to the soul as the legendary Riva Aquarama slices through the water. Publisher Assouline captures the wooden speedboat’s sixty-year luxury status through pictures and words from Michael Verdon, who brings to life the dolce vita charm. Since its beginning in 1962, the Riva icon has represented timeless beauty and is an extravagant trophy for owners. From basking in the warm Italian sun to speeding along the European coast, nothing is more entrancing than riding in the glistening mahogany of the Aquarama, the pride of Italy.
