The Riva Historical Society came into being in 1998. It is a non profit-making organisation whose members are its founders and the clubs or departments set up under its aegis in various countries.
It was founded by Architect Piero Mario Gibellini along with Carlo Riva and a group of friends with the purpose of saving existing Riva boats, helping the owners to conserve them in the best possible way, in terms of their originality and encouraging regular maintenance of them.
The second purpose is to register them in a special International Historical Register because they constitute an asset to Italian nautical history and because Riva boats hold an important position in international nautical culture.
Another purpose of the RHS is to protect the trademark "Riva Days" chosen by Carlo Riva for the more important gatherings of Riva Vintage and Classic Boats and, within the gatherings promote competitions, respecting the age of the boats. In fact, the gatherings have turned out to be an imperative showcase because of the sight of the Rivas themselves is an irresistible attraction for all enthusiasts, in addition to a great incentive to restoring and maintaining them.
The RHS is recognised also by Cantiere Riva (the Riva Boatyard), as a federation of the non-profit-making clubs and societies which have signed the Statutes and who are members of it along with the Founder members and Senators.
It is a member of FIM - CONI and of the UIM and is affiliated to the ACBS the Antique and Classic Boat Society, the association of vintage motor boats of North America and it is twinned with the French association, Cercle du Motonautisme Classique.
