New Model: Riva 110 Dolcevita

The first unit of the new Riva 110 Dolcevita was launched on Thursday 22 March in La Spezia, at the shipyard that manufactures the 76 and 110 foot models.  Riva 110 Dolcevita is huge from every point of view, its visual impact taking the breath away as does the incomparable combination of aesthetics and function, state-of-the-art technology and sea-faring experience.  Marked by an ultra-sporting profile and a design embellished by shaped glass windows and chrome inserts, it's the flagship of the fiberglass fleet. Among the most striking features, there's the large glass windows on the trim line with integrated portholes and, on deck, the single height glass window that runs the entire length of the living room with the glass framed by a stainless steel structure.  This new Riva 110 Dolcevita is once again the result of a collaboration between Officina Italiana Design, the design studio founded by Mauro Micheli with Sergio Beretta, the Strategic Product Committee chaired by engineer Piero Ferrari and the Engineering Department of the Ferretti Group.  This Riva is a continuation of the 70 Dolcevita which was a popular model in the line of the status symbol boat builder in around the start end of the nineties and the start of the new millennium years. Riva 110 Dolcevita will make its official début during an exclusive event to take place in Monte Carlo in May, the ideal place for the presentation of a yacht that is already legendary.
