Ducati - The Story DVD Arrives in the US

The North American division of Ducati announced today the “Ducati - The Story” official DVD documentary that covers the history of the iconic Italian motorcycle brand. This includes pictures and interviews from the company’s birth in 1926 through the 2007 MotoGP World Championship title.

The DVD recalls everything from the birth of the "Cucciolo", to engineer Taglioni and the Desmodromic system, from the victory in the Imola 200 to the Scrambler, from the brand’s Superbike dominance to its debut in the MotoGP.

“Witnesses recount their personal experiences and accompany the viewer on a journey that is not only the story of a company, but a window through social history and the subsequent passion that created Ducati engines destined to write the history of motorcycling,” a company statement reads. “Throughout the film Ducati personas recount their experiences via little-known stories and anecdotes.”

The ninety-minutes material is complemented by interviews of employees, riders and key contributors and is the result of ten years research in Ducati and Italian state archives. The “Ducati- The Story” official DVD documentary has been made possible thanks to the collaboration between Ducati, the production company, Strike of Milan, and director Angelo Barberi.

"This is a new way to tell the story,"
said Livio Lodi - Curator of the Ducati Museum. "As if leafing through an old photo album or speaking with a wise old relative, the story gives a fascinating view not only of Ducati, but also of Italy’s history. For me, it is vitally important that we share this story with Ducati fans all over the world."

“Ducati - The Story” retails for $39.90 and is available at authorized Ducati dealerships. There is also a 1:41-minute trailer of the DVD available, which can be watched below:
