Museum
It is located in medieval Bergamo, Giacomo Agostini’s hometown, between the Po plain and the Alps, close to Milan.
The museum was designed as a private trophy room by architect Michele Giavarini for the champion to keep his more than 350 trophies, with the idea of also opening it to the public.
The museum hosts some of the historic bikes used by Agostini, like helmets, race suits and personal objects, displayed in a chronological order.
On the inox-concrete floor, a giant no.1, black on yellow, the number Agostini raced with, and the word “Ago” painted in bright red .
His nom de guerre, reminds everyone about Giacomo Agostini’s record number of victories and championships titles is yet unequalled.
