The roaring echo of motorcycles zipping through the narrow streets of Carpanzano is not out of the ordinary, especially in the spring and summer months. However, today the sounds of motorcycles were more predominant as Carpanzano hosted its 5th edition of the Motoraduno organized by the Pro Loco of Carpanzano.
I first experienced the Motoraduno last summer and have to say it was definitely a sight to see the small streets of this village flooded with cyclist from Carpanzano and neighboring villages. This is an event definitely catered to the motorcycle enthusiast. This year, they added “uno spettacolo” or performance which to be perfectly honest could have been omitted. The performance was without a doubt geared to the male audience and for me personally was a bit tacky. I personally feel the money would have been put to better use towards one of the other events taking place during the month of August.
All in all, the event was a success. The evening ended with food, award presentation and a piano bar which continued on into the early hours of the morning.
Does your town or village host a similar event? What activities/competitions take place during this event?
