Eight vintage Roe deer motorcycles that, with their different characteristics, represent the history and evolution of this motorcycle produced in Trentino.
Not just airplanes. The Aero Caproni Trento industry has also produced motorcycles.
Between 1951 and 1962, thousands of Roe deer motorcycles were built in the Arco and Gardolo factories, first under the banner of Aero Caproni (1951-1957), then under that of Aeromere (1957-1962).
The exhibition, created as a collaboration between the Fondazione Museo storico del Trentino and Registro Storico Capriolo, features eight vintage deer. They are the highlight of the exhibition, of the original examples (or restored like the originals), of different displacement and different construction characteristics; they contain in themselves the history of this Trentino motorcycle.
The documentation collected completes and enriches the exhibition, accompanying the visitor along a path that runs on two parallel tracks. The first illustrates the models produced, the displacements, the construction characteristics, of frames and engines, the sold for each model. The second track, on the other hand, shows the historical and social evolution, the context allaround the Roe deer: birth, corporate changes, free time and working time, the motorization that the Roe deer has also helped to shape. A cross-section of a well-made motorcycle emerges, able to carve out its own space, testified by the good commercial response and the successes achieved in sports competitions.
