With Grazie Carlo, the author, Piero Maria Gibellini, once again celebrates the personality of Carlo Riva and his motorboats, historical heritage of boating. Thus, in the foreword:
This book wants to be the testimony of your creed and I hope that the ratio between image and content is satisfactory: an image meant not to amaze, but to testify your creative and entrepreneurial life; a content that aims to indicate to ship-owners how you wanted your creations, because only with respect for originality the historical value can be preserved and your memory honoured.
And in the preface, his daughter, Lia Riva:
With the passionate heart of the lover and the analytical gaze of the expert technician, Architect Piero Maria Gibellini tells the story of the Riva motorboats and of thei creator, making alive and contemporary the charm of boats symbolizing a dream which the world today needs more than ever.
