Riva, a legendary brand of the Ferretti Group – one of the world leaders in the design, construction as well as sale of motor yachts – will participate in the eagerly awaited annual Masterpiece Fair London. Set to run from June 27 to July 3, the Fair represents one of the most interesting and successful international events, cutting across several disciplines – from art to antiques, all the way to design.
Riva to take part in the Masterpiece Fair London 2013
Riva will welcome the visitors of this important fair with one of its most charming historical yachts: the Tritone. This craft was designed by initiative of a far-sighted Carlo Riva who, during the decade of Italy’s industrial revolution (the first hull dates from 1950) – dominated by the myth of speed and racing cars –, managed to produce a range of wooden yachts characterised by a unique, unmistakable design.
The Ariston – a luxury ‘car of the sea’ – was the precursor to modern day motor yachts, and was followed by the Sebino, which marked the beginning of mass production, the Florida, a homage to the United States, and obviously the Tritone, the first twin-inboard-engine model in the family. Featuring a below deck cabin, the 7.60-metre-long Tritone became the protagonist of the Dolce Vita, the yacht chosen by great Hollywood stars like Anita Ekberg, who was pictured many times on her Tritone No. 142, with its unmistakable zebra upholstery.
This legendary motor yacht will be on display in an entirely dedicated area set up thanks to the cooperation of Ventura UK Limited, the British dealer of the Ventura Group, one of the leading Distributors in Ferretti Group’s network.
