Nestled within the Casentinese Forests, the tranquil atmosphere of the Casuccia Visani center in Poppi (Arezzo) was temporarily transformed by the arrival of over 60 motorcycles for a dedicated weekend event.
From May 29 to June 1, the venue hosted the first national rally of Adventist Motorcycle Ministry (AMM) Italy, centered around the theme "Journey as Destination."
A Shared Mission on the Road
AMM is an independent ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist Church with a global presence. The ministry integrates a passion for motorcycling and traveling with the Christian mission to share the Gospel globally. Members are identified internationally by a distinct uniform: a black vest adorned with official ministry patches.
The event brought together approximately 80 participants. Attendees were welcomed by the AMM Italy team alongside Petru and Rebeca, the long-standing managers of the historic Adventist youth center, Casuccia Visani, in Tuscany. The international gathering drew participants from numerous countries, including Hungary, Slovenia, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine, Serbia, Portugal, and Brazil.
Spiritual Reflection and Exploration
Nino Plano, pastor of the Florence Adventist Church and chaplain of AMM Italy, led the weekend’s worship sessions. Discussions were centered on Psalm 32:8: “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.”
In addition to the worship program, the itinerary featured several organized group rides through the Tuscan countryside, emphasizing community and fellowship through shared interests.
