Nevertheless, they celebrated their 180th anniversary back in 2022. But in order to celebrate these 180 years of the brand, Riva decided to involve some of their “customers” in the celebration. However, these “customers” just happened to be David Beckham, Piefrancesco Favino, and the beloved F1 Ferrari driver, Charles Leclerc.
Charles Leclerc shows off his skills in a short film
The Riva brand planned to celebrate its 180 years by making a short film. The film starred the two athletes alongside the Italian actor. “Riva: The Persuaders” was shot over a few weeks on coastlines between the borders of Italy and the Côte d’Azur. The short film started off with the Italian actor, Piefrancesco Favino and David Beckham as they both raced their way to their Riva yachts.
After this, the duo continues to challenge each other across the ocean to get to another yacht waiting for them. They are then seen running inside as they try to sabotage one another but reach Charles Leclerc together anyways. That was when Charles Leclerc showcased his incredible acting skills in the short film. He is heard saying “Speed means everything.”
The video continues with the three men racing Hot Wheels cars on a small toy track. The rest of the video contains footage of the Ferrari driver walking along the yacht giving the viewers a look at his $2 million yacht.

This advertisement was vaguely inspired by a British action comedy TV series called “The Persuaders!” and “Attenti a quei due” in Italy. The world premiere and first screening of the short film took place at an Opera House in Venice, Italy namely the Gran Teatro la Fenice.
