About Motorcycle Blessing

The Motobenedizione is the rally with which the Moto Club Saronno officially opens the motorcycle season. After the gathering and Holy Mass in the Parish Church, the motorcyclists receive the blessing of their bikes in front of the church, before embarking on a city tour to the club's headquarters. An event that combines a passion for two wheels, religious tradition, and conviviality, deeply felt by enthusiasts from Saronno and the province of Varese.

When Motorcycles Get Blessed

The Motobenedizione is the motorcycle rally with which the Moto Club Saronno officially kicks off the two-wheel season. It's an event that intertwines the passion for motorcycles with religious tradition, in a rite that marks the beginning of the motorcycle spring in many Italian cities: the blessing of the vehicles and their riders, as a wish for safe journeys.

From Mass to Blessing in the Square

The day includes the gathering of motorcyclists, followed by Holy Mass in the Parish Church of Saints Peter and Paul, in the heart of Saronno. At the end of the celebration, in front of the church, the parish priest blesses the motorcyclists and their bikes for the season opening. It's the most symbolic and anticipated moment of the rally, attracting enthusiasts and curious onlookers.

The City Tour

After the blessing, participants set off on a city tour that crosses Saronno to the Moto Club's headquarters, where the day continues with conviviality among enthusiasts. The rally is an opportunity to meet, share the passion for motorcycles, and inaugurate the new season together.

A City Tradition

The Motobenedizione of the Moto Club Saronno is an event rooted in the city's life, in the province of Varese, capable of uniting the sporting and recreational dimension of motorcycling with the popular and religious one. For local enthusiasts, it's the signal that the two-wheel season can finally begin.
