Riva Aquarama, the most beautiful thing ever made.


The 1965 Riva Aquarama. The angle of its prow, the positioning of it´s wraparound windscreen (which was based on the panoramatic cinema screens popular at the time), the white and turquoise leatherwork that goes perfectly with the deeply polished mahogany hull. And it´s powered by two V8 engines. 


In production from 1962 to 1996, the Riva Aquarama was the crowning achievement of the darling of the Jet Set, Italy's Riva boat works. 


Gianni Agnelli, the playboy head of Fiat, was told that if he could turn it over, he could have one for free. Gianni, being Gianni, tried. But couldn´t.
