The history of Aprilia, an iconic Italian motorcycle brand, began in 1945 with founder Cavaliere Alberto Beggio's bicycle shop in Noale. The company, later led by Beggio's son Ivano, expanded into motorcycles in the late 1960s. Aprilia quickly made its mark in competitive racing, debuting in motocross in the 1970s and achieving numerous victories in Grand Prix and Superbike championships. Acquired by Piaggio in 2004, Aprilia is now a major player in the global motorcycle market, celebrated for its racing heritage and innovative designs.
