‘Valchiria’ by Mr Castrogiovanni

The very, very interesting creation you see here was designed and built from nothing more than an engine, a swingarm and a pile of steel by Mr Castrogiovanni himself.

Walter Castrogiovanni studied Industrial Design at Palermo University and this motorcycle formed part of his thesis under the watchful eye of his supervisor, architect Fabrizio Avella.

“The title of my thesis was ‘Modelling Techniques for Motorcycle Design’. It consisted of the design, presentation and building of a motorcycle conceived by myself and I called it ‘Valchiria’.” says Walter. “I’ve had a great passion for motorbikes since I was very young. On my island, there weren't many motorbikes but when one would speed past I would close my eyes and dream for a moment. Motorcycles had to be in my life! There wasn't a big passion for bikes in my family, but my parents allowed me to study and develop my dream.”
