It will also be mandatory to wear a surgical mask and respect the safety distance of at least 1 metre for the duration of the stay.
Starting from 5 October, the long-awaited guided tours of the Ducati Factory will also resume, offering visitors the opportunity to walk around and observe what happens along the production lines of the factory where the “Rosse” of Borgo Panigale take shape. Also in this case, access will only be allowed upon reservation and in a limited number. Factory tours will be organized from Monday to Friday (Wednesday closing day) with three visits in the morning at 9.30 – 10.00 – 10.30 and three in the afternoon at 14.00 – 14.15 – 14.30.
