Families that are looking for an exciting Italian event may want to consider hopping into a car rental in Rome, and following the powerful roars of motorcycle engines to the Monte Mario Motorcycling Circuit.

This May, lovers of everything from motorcycles to scooters can make their way to Rome’s Castel Sant'Angelo for a celebration of these road machines. Bike enthusiasts will be in hog heaven when they see the hundreds of vintage and modern motorcycles that are expected at this event.

Each year, riders race one another at low speeds throughout the streets of Rome. This provides both Monte Mario participants and onlookers with an opportunity to appreciate some of Rome’s most historic sites. Past editions of the event have taken bikers past Piazza Cavour and Piazza del Risorgimento.

As the circuit’s main location is at Castel Sant’Angelo, travelers with a car rental in Italy have a chance to get up close with this regal structure, which was originally intended to be a mausoleum for the Roman Emperor Hadrian and his family. Today, the cylindrical building has found a new purpose as a museum.
