The new museum, born in the Villa Fastiggi neighborhood (via Division Legnano, 3), it will be open with free entry every 1st Saturday of the month, from 9 all 12 and give them 15 all 17.
Saturday 7 December the Luciano Battisti Collection opens its doors to all visitors. 
A project to which the collector and entrepreneur from Pesaro, passed away last year, he had been working for a long time and that was thanks to the determination of his family, in particular his wife Graziella and his nephew Enrico, it was finally possible to realize it.
An amazing collection of more 200 road and racing motorcycles unique in the world, which opens to the public also thanks to the collaboration of the Officine Benelli Museum, to whom Luciano Battisti was deeply attached, having also been among the founders of the Benelli Historical Registry and former rider with the colors of the Benelli Moto Club.
Among the motorbikes on display we remember the Benelli and MotoBi which competed in the most famous circuits in the world with great riders, like Renzo Pasolini, Silvio Grassetti, Kel Carruthers, Mike Hailwood and Jarno Saarinen. There is also a Yamaha display, with the 250 world champion of Cadalora and the 500 world champion with Eddy Lawson, but also Morbidelli 250 by Graziano Rossi, the MotoBi 125 by Eugenio Lazzarini, Bianchi 350 by Silvio Grassetti and Norton 500 by Paolo Campanelli.
These are motorcycles capable of recounting a decade of global competition that can only be admired in Pesaro.
To those who asked Battisti the economic value of his collection, the answer was: “I don't know what it's worth and I don't even care. For me it's just an emotional issue. That Pesaro yesterday, especially through Benelli but also MotoBI and many other more or less well-known companies, he represented a culture, a school, he created values, professionalism and many of the people who passed through there went on to make the Pesaro of today, a piece of this Italy of ours".
With the Battisti museum, the city of Pesaro, capital of culture 2024, has expanded its historical-cultural proposal of motorcycling, already strong in the splendid Officine Benelli museum in the site of the former Leone factory (born in 1911) in Viale Mameli, and other historic centers including the Morbidelli museum, the center of the brothers Enzo and Eugenio Lazzarini and others of value.
