Model history and curiosity

One of the most significant feats accomplished on a Ducati during the 20th century was the one involving Leopoldo Tartarini and Giorgio Monetti.With the aim of making the brand known globally and promoting the 175 T, Tartarini and Monetti set off on a journey of 60,000 km, crossing five continents and stopping in thirty-six different countries.

In this way, Ducati not only increases its popularity throughout the world, but also demonstrates the reliability of the 14 HP single overhead camshaft engine that powers the 175 T, a direct descendant of the Marianna designed by Engineer Taglioni.
Employee and former Ducati rider, Leopoldo Tartarini together with his friend Giorgio Monetti left on 30 September 1957 and returned on 5 September 1958.
