Moto Guzzi works rider Bruno Ruffo 1949 Italian Grand Prix Monza motorcycle

Description

A superb and rare photo of the
Moto Guzzi works rider, Bruno Ruffo at the 1949 Italian
Grand Prix at Monza.
Bruno Ruffo
was an
Italian Grand Prix motorcycle road racer born in Verona. He won three Grand
Prix World Championships.
In
1949 he won the inaugural 250cc World Championship riding for the Italian Moto
Guzzi factory. During the 1950 season, Ruffo was annoyed that Moto Guzzi
instructed him to let his team-mate win the Championship that year while he
finished third. That same year, Ruffo rode a Mondial to claim the 125cc World
Championship. In 1951 he once again captured the 250cc World Champion with four
victories. Ruffo retired in 1952 after an accident and opened a successful
vehicle hire business in Verona. He died at 86 years old.
This is a very nice and very rare
photo that reflects a wonderful era of Moto Guzzi ‘s rich motorcycle history in
a wonderful way. This is your rare chance to own this photo, therefore it
is printed in a nice large format of ca. 8″ x 10” (ca. 20 x 26cm). It
makes it perfectly suitable for framing!
