60 Years of Elegance: Celebrating Riva Aquarama's Iconic Legacy

Nothing captures glamour on the seas like the Aquarama. Dreamed up by Carlo Riva, this wooden speedboat is an Italian design icon, celebrated in the Riva Aquarama book by Assouline for its 60th Anniversary. With its clean lines, mahogany, chrome details, and signature robin’s egg-blue and cream upholstery, the Aquarama embodies the optimism of early-‘60s Italy. Movie stars, royalty, and luminaries like Brigitte Bardot and Elizabeth Taylor have fallen for its charm. The book by Michael Verdon tells the legendary boat's story, bringing its dolce vita charm to life. With 208 pages and over 200 illustrations this special edition, presented in a luxury mahogany box, offers a piece of the Riva dream to owners, collectors, and enthusiasts alike.
