Speaking of the origin of the filming of this micro-film, Chen Gang, the representative of Ferretti Group in China, revealed to the surging news (www.thepaper.cn) reporter that the Riva yacht that appeared here at the third CIIE is 10.07 meters long and offered 530,000 euros (excluding tax), and the model has not been changed in design for nearly 20 years, which can be called the "evergreen tree" of the European yachting industry.
In the 178 years since its birth, Riva Yachts has been on the screen more than 50 times, from the Italian classic films "Mambo", "Bay of Naples" and "Comfortable Life", to the 007 series and award-winning European and American blockbusters "GoldenEye", "City of Absolute Beauty", "Twelve Arhats", and even the 2020 hit "Creed".
"For nearly a hundred years, Riva Yachts has shone on the big screen with a gorgeous and elegant figure, showing italian style and creativity in front of audiences around the world, which is what we expect from the short film "Screen Riva". As a short film full of fantasy power, it is starred by the famous Italian film Pier Francesco Favino, and the story is set in the dazzling water city of Venice. Alberto Galassi, CEO of Ferretti Group, said, "Screen Riva is dedicated to all those who believe in the magical power of imagination and talent. ”

Chen Gang revealed to the surging news reporter that this 3-minute film "Screen Riva" was filmed in Venice. Equally brilliant is the soundtrack in the short that pays homage to Nino Rota, a talented composer who has made legendary director Fellini's films memorable, not to mention masterpieces like The Godfather and Massacre on the Nile.

At the Asian premiere, these stories of Riva Yachts were also written into a new book with the same name as the movie, and premiered at the Expo on the 6th. The new 300-page book contains 39 films, tons of original posters, hundreds of stunning stills, 77 male actors and 110 actresses.
The surging news reporter saw in Hall 3H that the Riva yacht Aquariva Super (also known as super water Riva) that appeared at the Expo was 10.07 meters long and 1.8 meters wide, the hull was made of glass fiber composite materials, and the deck followed the traditional craftsmanship that Riva was proud of: precious mahogany with maple lines, 20 bright paint treatments (10 hand brushes, 10 spray paints). The rear half of the ship is the cabin position, implanted with the two hearts of the Aquariva Super: two 370 hp Yanmar 8LV engines that power the yacht at a speed of 42 knots (78 km/h) and a cruising speed of 36 knots (67 km/h).

According to Riva tradition, leather is laid above the cabin to create a sun deck, and the shipyard will choose the color of leather according to the color of the hull. The selection and color scheme of other surfaces on board can also be customized. The hull is streamlined, curved and elegant. The swimming platform in the stern was thus covered by the hull structure on either side.
Chen Gang revealed that as of 2020, 275 Aquariva Super have been delivered to shipowners around the world, and this data has also made this Riva one of the best-selling products in the yachting industry.
