Riva Historical Society

The Riva Historical Society (RHS) was founded in 1998 in Milan, Italy by Piero Gibellini and fellow Riva owners, including Carlo Riva, who is its Honorary President.

RHS reorganized in 2001 into a federation, whereby its members are actually affiliate clubs located in Europe and elsewhere in the world.

RHS is prohibited from accepting members who are individuals or corporations. Rather, individuals and corporations join regional clubs, through which they may participate in RHS and regional club activities.

There are more than 600 individuals who are members of affiliate clubs worldwide, which is a significant accomplishment considering the short time RHS has been in existence, as well as the geographical and cultural differences involved.
