Modena, 29 June 2021 – Maserati will participate with premières, conferences and dynamic events at the third edition of the Motor Valley Fest, the great open air festival celebrating Italy’s “Motor Valley”, to be held in Modena from Thursday 1st to Sunday 4th July.

The second edition due to be held as a live event, after the digital version in 2020, will take over the iconic locations and piazzas of the city in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region that has been home to Maserati for over 80 years. Once again, the event celebrates the alliance between the Trident Brand, its native area, innovation and passion, factors that have always been central to the Brand and are still at the heart of its new Era.

Maserati’s participation in the Motor Valley Fest will get under way at 09:00 hrs on 1 July at the city’s Military Academy (Piazza Roma), with the traditional opening conference.


The opening ceremony will conclude with the global unveiling of a special Levante Trofeo Fuoriserie Edition created exclusively with Massimo Bottura.
