Motor Bike Expo 2020 has crossed the final milestone with the pavilions full of visitors and with the outdoor areas still vibrant for the show and the emotions they offered.
Despite the rain on Saturday morning, the great success of attendance recorded in 2019 is confirmed (170000 visitors), a result that rewards the formula designed for fans: series production, custom universe, racing world, tourism on two wheels, motorcycle driving schools, meetings between students and companies and outdoor shows, all within a perfectly balanced framework.
"We are extremely satisfied with the work done, the results prove us right" says Paola Somma, with Francesco Agnoletto creator and organizer of the Salone. “We register the full consent of the exhibitors and operators, while the public took away emotions and enthusiasm. We are also gratified by the supply chain that the event generates for the city and the territory: Verona becomes the world capital of motorcycling for four days and this contributes to its already remarkable reputation ".
"From tomorrow we are already starting to work for the 2021 edition" announces Agnoletto. "Motor Bike Expo is a show that has reached a high level, but which can always be improved and is exactly what we want to do, to offer exhibitors and visitors more captivating content every year, capable of stimulating their curiosity and their interest. We already have a lot of ideas - anticipates Agnoletto - we will put them straight away and then, as has been the case for years, we will begin to travel to "meet" motorcycling in every part of the world and in all its expressions. In September we will decide the direction in which to go: because Motor Bike Expo does not chase fashions, but neither does it intend to create them. However, he always wants to keep up with motorcyclists ”.
Maurizio Danese, president of Veronafiere, declares: “The numbers with which this edition of Motor Bike Expo closed has only confirmed the success of a format capable of combining business and entertainment. The salon is unique in its kind, created by motorcycle and custom enthusiasts for other enthusiasts. Here at the Verona Fair it has found the ideal size to develop and in just over ten years we have managed to double the number of visitors, increase their internationality and bring the opening days from three to four. The team that wins does not change: for this reason we are happy to have renewed the partnership agreement until 2030 with the organizers of the show, Francesco Agnoletto and Paola Somma ".
