Elegance, passion and social commitment come together at one of the most original events in Calabria. The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride returns to Reggio Calabria for its 5th edition, bringing hundreds of motorcyclists riding classic and vintage motorbikes, dressed in timeless style with tweed, ties and bow ties, to the Falcomatà waterfront.
This is not just a parade: the DGR is a global event that takes place simultaneously in hundreds of cities around the world, with a shared goal – to support prostate cancer research and promote men's mental health. In Reggio Calabria, the event has taken on an increasingly important role over the years, attracting participants from all over Italy and Europe.
The route passes along one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, the Falcomatà Seafront, which offers a unique view of the Strait of Messina and Mount Etna. This setting makes the experience even more immersive, transforming the ride into a journey through the Mediterranean landscape, culture and identity.
For many participants, the event also provides an opportunity to discover the region: from the inland villages between Aspromonte and the coast, to the excellent local food and wine, to major cultural attractions such as the National Archaeological Museum and the Riace Bronzes.
