Marabese Who we are
Our History, our creative vision and our team
Study the past if you want to define the future
Luciano's innate gift and highly innovative vision give a strong boost to the demand for design from the large industrial groups of the time.
MARABESE is thus commissioned to develop products for the Piaggio Spa Group.
From here will begin a long and deep collaboration that will see the development of numerous internationally successful projects and that will lead MARABESE to distinguish itself on the world scene.
The 20-year collaboration with PIAGGIO was the first but the following years allowed MARABESE to develop hundreds of new products with new and equally famous manufacturers of the caliber of APRILIA, YAMAHA, TRIUMPH, etc.
A particularly important and intense collaboration was with MOTO GUZZI, a brand that always remained in Luciano's heart and therefore gave him the right motivation to design the models that would give the historic brand the right revival.
In the 2000s, strong relationships began with Asian companies that, seeing the results in terms of innovations, decided to entrust MARABESE with the development of new products for Western markets.
The booming Asian markets required continuous support that still continues today and allows MARABESE to remain a reference point.
The creativity of the artist merges with the rationality of industry.
Thanks to Luciano's authority and his ability to pass on his passion in the mid-1990s, his sons Roberto and Riccardo brought to MARABESE a further creative and entrepreneurial drive that allowed the range of research activities to be broadened.
Since the beginning of the new millennium, in fact, proposals for innovation and technological development have steadily grown so much that in 2007 a parallel reality dedicated to the development of multi-wheel projects will be born: QUADRO.
The years of experience and more than 400 projects developed give Roberto and Riccardo the ability to be able to think beyond the present to see in the forms what the market still does not know and guide people's perception through the constant analysis of the current market and potential openings to new concepts.
Style blends with technology and innovation but carefully follows the industrial processes that form the basis of each new project.

Product Development
ROBERTO BETTETO, Head Product Development
He doesn't like to say everything he knows; it might seem like too much.
He has been part of our team for several years but never ceases to surprise us.
Developing new designs is his fuel, his decades of experience in major manufacturers has made him determined to follow development and industrialization processes that ensure high production standards.
We all have a say, but in the end he decides.
Project Management and Industrialization
SARA CATTANEO, Program Manager
During the development of a project there are many activities to keep track of.
It takes order and Sara cover us with this.
Precise, present and proactive, she wants to have everything under control and when needed "She doesn't quit."
Controlling activities, keeping on time and on budget determines the success of a new project and ensures we have the proper resources to fulfill our duties.
Modellery
STEFANO RIMOLDI, Senior designer & modellista
In Marabese since forever.
Decades of watching his hands mold shapes that were at first almost incomprehensible.
Then everything is clear, as expected.
Stefano produces tactile sensations that the eye cannot read, and that is why it is only after the mockup phase is completed that we can proceed with reverse engineering and with the certainty of what it will be.
