Aldo Drudi’s poster pays tribute to the champion: “What a story…”
Around 10,000 grandstand tickets are still available at the Misano World Circuit
Everyone’s talking about Valentino Rossi. Even the poster designed by Aldo Drudi puts ‘Vale’ in the spotlight, ahead of the The Made in Italy and Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix a Misano World Circuit, 22–24 October.
It will be a huge celebration, a tribute from Riders’ Land to a champion who has written some extraordinary chapters in the history of world motorcycling. The circuit will be decked out in yellow, and through the 35,000 fans in the stands at the Marco Simoncelli circuit, the champion will feel the warmth of all the fans.
“This is a significant occasion: celebrating Valentino Rossi at his home circuit, in front of his Italian fans – a special event – explains the designer Aldo Drudi, describing the poster –. The dominant colour is, of course, yellow; the sole subject is therefore Valentino Rossi in an unusual pose – not racing, but offering an intimate gesture of greeting, not a celebration – with the relationship between him and the public faintly glimpsed in the background. A narrative poster. The typeface is reminiscent of old film posters, evoking a story that began many years ago. From there to the present-day image.
“What a story…” – with those ellipsis – looks to the future. A glorious chapter is drawing to a close, and the story is opening up to new horizons. It is a tribute, featuring all the colourful and graphic elements that have made it famous around the world.
The The NOLAN Grand Prix for Italian Design and Emilia-Romagna, alongside the thrills of MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3, will also offer the excitement of Valentino Rossi’s final MotoGP race, in Italy and in front of the fans at Riders’ Land.
Naming Made in Italy and Emilia-Romagna It is the result of a successful collaboration between the Emilia-Romagna Region, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, and the Italian Trade Agency (ICE), developed in partnership with Misano World Circuit and Dorna Sport, under the auspices of the Italian Motorcycling Federation.
There could not have been a more appropriate name to celebrate Valentino Rossi, who for 26 seasons has carried the name of Italy around the world as an absolute protagonist.
“MotoGP at Misano – the promoters say – it is the latest in a series of events that since the summer of 2021 has seen the Motor Valley as the protagonist and, coinciding with the farewell of a great Made in Italy testimonial like Valentino Rossi, takes on the air of a global celebration.
The event becomes an even more powerful marketing and territorial promotion tool, fostering communication to the world of the values of a district which, thanks to its history, businesses, champions, and events, has also become a flagship product of one of Europe's most important tourist destinations.
Meanwhile, anticipation is building and the rush for tickets is on. Sunday’s event was already practically sold out, but the increase in grandstand capacity to 35,000 now allows a further 10,000 fans to join in the grand celebration for Valentino Rossi, as well as, of course, enjoying the spectacle of all the races on the programme.
