A Brief History of the Italian Marque
The Aquila name was used by Luigi Monteverdi & C. of Rome. Between 1953 and 1955 (1) they built motorcycles with SOHC engines of 175 cc and 160 cc in Turismo, Sport Lusso and Gran Sport versions.
The project engineer Ferruccio Fortina Piacenza worked for some years with Count Boselli at Mondial.
Moto Aquila participated in endurance races including the Motogiro of Italy and the Milan-Taranto race.
