SPOTLIGHT RIVA 56 RIVALE

A TOUR OF ITALY

The Riva 56 Rivale is built at the company’s

original yard just outside Sarnico, Italy,

on the north bank of Lago Iseo, about a

45-minute drive east of the Lombardi city of

Bergamo, and an 80-minute drive east-northeast

from Milan. This factory builds all the smaller

Rivas, from the entry-level 27-foot Iseo to

the 63 Virtus. The larger models, from the 76

Bahamas and 76 Perseo to the soon-to-launch 110

Dolce Vita, are fi tted out at Riva’s west

coast facility in La Spezia, which is a 90-minute

sojourn south of Genoa and just more than

an hour north of Pisa. The biggest-ever Riva, the

almost 161-foot steel and aluminum trideck 50

MT, is pictured above and is in build on the

east coast at the Ferretti Group’s CRN and Riva

Superyacht Division in Ancona.
