One hundred years. Ten decades. A century of roaring engines, world championship victories, cult models, and an unshakable passion that has united millions of enthusiasts around the globe. In 2026, Ducati celebrates its centennial, and FBA Motoitaliane pays tribute with a monograph destined to become a collector’s item: DUCATI 1926.

A journey through Ducati voices

This isn’t your average coffee table book. DUCATI 1926 collects the testimonies of the protagonists who made Ducati great: from co-founder Bruno Cavalieri Ducati to current CEO Claudio Domenicali. Through original manuscripts, typescripts, and exclusive interviews from the archives of Mondo Ducati magazine and FBA Motoitaliane (publishing house active since 1995), readers are offered a privileged glimpse behind the scenes of the Borgo Panigale legend.

The unpublished Taglioni manuscript

The crown jewel of this volume? A previously unpublished manuscript by Fabio Taglioni himself — the father of desmodromic engines — revealing backstage secrets from his decades inside the company. For any Ducatista, this alone makes the book priceless.
