Did the factory visit and museum today LOL The Uffezi of Ducati.
The area machining cranks looked to be finishing about 30% V4's and there did seem to be a few fairly naked what looked very much like V4's in a partitioned off section of a production line. All a bit aid back at the mo as it's the quiet season for sales.
Even Caroline, who is not really a bike kind of person found it interesting.

As noted the 666 arches is neat and is I'm told a cool stroll, we would have walked it if it had been cooler!! High 30's is much more ambling weather. 666 is a kind of odd number for what is a religous processional cover to keep the mummified nun dry on her annual outing.
Food is pretty good everywhere but TBH if you want pizza get down to Da Michele in Naples, it's all they do and only margharita or mariana so no heavy thought needed and they are truely awesome.

Oh and quite happy to pay as it does dump into the companies charitable foundation, so you get a good few hours and get an extra feel good factor.
