Since its establishment, AGV has been a prominent player in the field of helmet design and motorcycle racing, constantly pushing the boundaries in areas such as aerodynamics, comfort, safety, graphics, sponsorship, and advertising. The company was founded in 1947 by Gino Amisano (1920–2009) and quickly gained a stellar reputation for its groundbreaking designs and materials. These innovations were rigorously tested on the racetrack and developed in collaboration with sponsored World Championship riders, including the legendary Giacomo Agostini, who won the World Championship 15 times, and modern MotoGP icon Valentino Rossi.
