On Sunday, May 17th, Rome will host a new edition of "The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride", the international motorcycle event that combines the world of modern classics with fundraising for men’s health, with a particular focus on prostate cancer research and mental health programs.
The 2026 edition celebrates the 15th global anniversary of the DGR and also marks the 10th year of organization in Rome under the leadership of Rosaria Fiorentino. The event's global motorcycle main sponsor is Triumph Motorcycles Italia, a long-standing key partner of "The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride£ and a symbol of the modern classic style that has helped make the DGR one of the most recognizable motorcycle events in the world.
For the 2026 Rome edition, Triumph Italia will officially support the event with the participation of two exceptional ambassadors, actors Francesco Montanari and Mattia Carrano, who will join the motorcycle parade as it winds through the heart of the capital alongside the participants.
Cafe racers, modern classics, scramblers, bobbers, and vintage motorcycles will parade through Rome’s monumental architecture on a day that combines elegance, motorcycling, and social awareness.
Since 2012, "The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride" has raised over $60 million dollars worldwide through its partnership with the Movember Foundation, involving more than 1,000 cities globally and 56 cities in Italy. For 2026, the global goal is to exceed $8 million dollars raised in a single year.
“Triumph’s support represents much more than a partnership,” Rosaria Fiorentino emphasized. “Triumph perfectly embodies the spirit of the DGR... elegance, a passion for motorcycling, timeless style, and a sense of community.”
This year’s Rome edition also takes on particular significance thanks to the official patronage of the Ministry of Health, a recognition that underscores the event’s importance in terms of raising awareness and prevention.
“Bringing hundreds of motorcyclists to the heart of the capital, accompanied by an iconic brand like Triumph and supported by such an important cause, is something that continues to move me every year,” Fiorentino concluded.
