“RIVA IN THE MOVIE”: NEW EDITION WITH 52 FILMS PLUS QR CODES TO WATCH RIVA IN ACTION IN THE MOVIES
On the wave of the success of the first edition, “Riva in the Movie” is out again in an updated version, with thirteen new films to discover including “The Wolf of Wall Street”, “Tenet”, “The Jewel of the Nile” and “Diamonds are Forever”.And there’s another great surprise. Many of the pages show a QR code for scanning with your smartphone to watch a clip of the film where a Riva boat is featured.
With breathtaking photos and unmissable reviews, “Riva in the Movie” tells the stories of the numerous films in which Riva creations have played important roles, in many cases taking centre stage and stealing the spotlight from nationally and internationally renowned stars.
This fascinating cultural and publishing project features 398 pages, 52 films with their original posters, 342 pictures of scenes and life backstage, 100 actresses and 164 actors. They all come together in an exquisite, enchanting book whose words and pictures masterfully intertwine the stories of the modern nautical and film scenes.
The unmistakable style of Riva yachts, which are described and pictured in all of their glory, has lit up films of all kinds for more than 60 years: from the drama of Contempt and Il Sorpasso, Agatha Christie mysteries, and thrillers such as Nikita and several James Bond films, to Italian comedies including Vacanze di Natale and Yuppies and the very British humour of Johnny English. Not to mention genres that have been confined to history, such as the “musicarelli” that showcased the talents of Mina, Domenico Modugno, Al Bano and Romina Power, and Satanskoraal, the first South African film with underwater scenes, a real treat for cinephiles.
“Riva in the Movie” will appeal to film fans – the reviews by Franco Barbolini are full of interesting facts and details about the production of the films – and all lovers of the legendary Riva, which is dazzlingly, entrancingly depicted thanks to numerous old photographs and meticulous descriptions of every model.

When a drive for perfection and a passion for well-crafted details, typical traits of Riva, converge with the world’s most loved and oldest game – the origins of Backgammon date back to around 6000 years ago – the result is an absolute wonder, for both the eyes and the mind.
Riva Backgammon, which has been thoroughly designed and perfected down to the smallest of details, is a challenge that Riva Brand Experience was eager to accept: providing a fresh new look to the most famous games “box” in the world, using its quintessential style, materials, and colours.

Even when it is not being played, the box transforms into an example of artisanal craftsmanship, with the Riva brand name inlaid in steel, or, for the more lavish model, it comes with an amazingly stunning “transparent” inlay. The dice and the counters, in white and aquamarine with mahogany inlays, and the container used for throwing the dice, in mahogany and maple wood, reflect the attention to detail that makes the most sought-after yachts in the world unique.
And whatever the outcome of the game may be, its players will always remember the unparalleled beauty of an object that has the ability to entertain, embellish, and charm its admirers.

In 1960, Riva used to deliver its wonderful mahogany boats in a very special truck with sleek lines and the logo prominently displayed.
