Our readers may not know it, but our transalpine neighbors have just celebrated the 150th anniversary of their unification, carried out on March 17, 1861 when Vittorio Emmanuel II was proclaimed King of Italy, the very first head of state of the new nation..

Playing the patriotism card, MV Agusta and Pirelli took the opportunity to celebrate this anniversary in their own way.

Familiar with the exercise (it’s an understatement!), The manufacturer of Varese has concocted yet another limited series based on Brutale 990R: displaying the Italian flag on its dashboard, its rear hull and its engine spoiler and With a numbered plate on the triple clamp, this single-seater Brutale was produced in only 150 units in red, white or black tones.

For its part, Pirelli took advantage of the fourth round of the World Superbike which was held in to unveil a striped tire in Italian colors and flanked by a tricolor label with the "150th Italy" logo during the Superpole session..
