VIVARIVA

RHS ''vivariva'' is the official magazine of Riva Historical Society. Issued quarterly, it started in the spring of 2003, thanks to the enthusiasm of a few members. The number of pages has increased since the first issue, as well as the regular articles: the Page of Carlo Riva, the Commentary of Piero Gibellini, the Page of Giorgio Barilani, RHS News, News from the Chapters, News and reports from the events, Technical info, Gallery, On the Press, Mail, Offers and Requests. The letters, emails and photos from members contribute largely to enriching the news and subjects.
Today RHS ''vivariva'' prints over 2000 copies; half of them are sent to members, restoration yards, journalists and specialised press all over the world. The remaining copies are given to advertisers for their customers, or distributed at events and boat shows.
