Tavullia hides in one of his garages a priceless secret space. It is the private museum of Valentino Rossi, a warehouse where the Italian pilot keeps almost all the material he has used throughout the 24 years in which he has been competing on two wheels, including some of the suits and helmets with which he who broke through in the 80 and 125 categories in Italy, when he was only 14 years old.
Rossi has already shown on some occasion what he calls his ‘secret room’, in an unknown location, a private corner where we can see their overalls, helmets, boots, gloves, trophies, motorcycles and other objects that he has been accumulating throughout his 24 years competing at the highest level. It is impressive to see the amount and variety of things he has, from his first 125cc victories with Aprilia to his latest MotoGP podiums with Yamaha, through his titles with Honda and his most original celebrations.
But that is not all. Rossi also plans to open a larger and more accessible museum in Tavullia, where he will gather the best of his career and make it available to his followers. The Italian driver has visited other museums such as the Ferrari one to get inspired and do something of a level. There is still no date for its inauguration, but it will surely be a success and one more attraction to visit the town that breathes motorcycling on all four sides.
“This place is the result of my passion for suits, helmets, boots, gloves, everything related to my career”, #46 recently said in the four-episode documentary that Dainese filmed inside the museum. “And we thought of a room dedicated to a secret museum or at least a place to keep many unforgettable things from my career. And I could only open it to you.”
“In 2006, the problem of where to store everything arose, because there was beginning to be a lot of material. And since there were so many things, because there were also cups, souvenirs, podium caps… we think of a room that we located on this site, which was previously a workshop“tells Valentino about this very special place.
Now that Valentino has definitively ended his career as a two-wheeled rider, the nine-time world champion has now added what will be the last and definitive piece of your collection. It is about the Dainese leather suit with which ‘Vale’ competed in the last round of Valencia in 2021, his last race as a MotoGP rider, a suit that he himself has been in charge of hanging in one of his showcases and that He wanted to share with the legion of followers they have on their social networks.
“This is a historic moment”says Valentino at the start of the video. “I started building this museum in 2006, 17 years ago, and today is the day to hang the last monkey of my career. It’s the Dainese Petronas suit of 2021, a good year, like wine“, he comments with a smile on his face.
Rossi points out that the monkey “It’s number 16 2021, the last jumpsuit of my career, and I’m going to hang it in the museum. It’s a historic moment.” The Italian stands out, now dedicated in body and soul to motor racing together with BMW, the factory with which he plans to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, perhaps in 2024.
