Milan, Florence, Bologna, Rome Italy November 2006
Each year Ducati.net travels to Italy in the off season. Italy in November is very different than in the summer high season - different weather is just the beginning, the unique foods in season , the Christmas displays, the winter fashions, and the smaller crowds all add up to a vacation quite unlike what you get in summer. So, after the EICMA motorcycle show we took some time to enjoy Italy in winter. This years trip was a group of 15, started in Milan, moved to Florence and ended in Rome. For me, one of best things is the completely different light, the photos look nothing like summer which is what most people think of when they think of Italy. Photos and captions by Vicki Smith

No trip to Italy would be complete without a quick trip to the factory and a stop to pay my respects to Rino Caracchi at the NCR workshop. Since this was a quick day trip Reno Leone met us at Rino's shop. That's Stefano Caracchi (owner of the SC NCR WSBK team, Rino Caracchi, me, Reno Leone. A glass of homemade prosecco or two, a quick inspection of Vicki 6 (the all ready to go already! Motogiro Sicily 2007 Ducati 175SS Rino prepares for me to ride) much hugging and we were back on the train to Florence to meet friends for dinner.
