i have a framed version of this picture - trying to convince the whoaman to let me put it in the living room
The man in the picture was Giuliano Maoggi. He was nicknamed il duca italiano "The Italian Duke" He gained notoriety in the 1950's as a factory rider as Ducati was building their company through racing success. The picture was taken in 1956 on board a 125cc Gran Marianna during the Motogiro di'Italia, which Maoggi won. The Motogiro di' Italia was equivalent to a modern day Baja 1000 or "Bull Run" where riders and machines tested their endurance across the Italian peninsula. Ducati, literally, built their company on race results, and has stuck to that proven formula through today.
I am currently trying to gain the rights to reproduce high resolution prints of this image. I can keep you posted if you wish.

I was curious too as I have that picture on my pc too. Some pictures speak to you. That on does. At a glance you know there's a real story there. [moto]

I don't believe you will find a hi-rez unless it has been doctored.

I've got a 24 x 36 hanging up on the entryway to my garage from the house.
FYI Maoggi still rides in the vintage class in the motogiro every year!
