Our story

The extraordinary story of FAR began 100 years ago when Cesari Celso started to manufacture ISOTTA bicycles in Rigosa, Borgo Panigale. Today we celebrate over fifty years of the factory, founded in 1969 by his son Gaetano Cesari and his wife Sara. The story of FAR is the story of a factory, of its products, and of the family that still runs it — a story built on innovation combined with the creativity, the style and the quality that characterize Made in Italy, appreciated by motorcyclists all around the world for half a century.

1922 · The origins

The business started by Celso Cesari in 1922 continued after the Second World War with great results and the expansion of the ISOTTA range, introducing the famous COMETA and FARFALLINO bicycles, which featured the PIPA FRASTAGLIATA, a concept still used today by all bicycle manufacturers. In 1946, moped models with SAMP engine were added to production.

1952 · The turning point — FIAR

When Celso Cesari retired in 1952, his son Gaetano succeeded him and, sensing the rapid market changes and taking advantage of the economic boom, established FIAR (Fabbrica Italiana Accessori Ricambi), moving the business definitively into the motorcycle world. Production of spare parts for PIAGGIO and INNOCENTI scooters began.

1958 · Expansion

In 1958 Gaetano Cesari opened dealerships with after-sales workshops for brands such as MOTO MONDIAL, MOTOCICLI MM, MOTO BARTALI, MOTO DEVIL and MOTO FRERA. FIAR became one of the biggest Italian moped accessory and spare-part manufacturers — windscreens, silencers, rearview mirrors, wheels, luggage racks — with exports of up to 72% of production.

1969 · FAR S.p.A. is founded

In 1969, as a result of its growth, FAR S.p.A. was founded in a modern facility in Zola Predosa (Bologna), in the heart of the Motor Valley — the industrial district home to major brands such as Ducati, Moto Morini, Malaguti, Minarelli, Malanca and Cimatti.

The 2000s · The global era

In the 2000s, under the leadership of Marco Cesari, FAR S.r.l. added new technologies and models, confirming its leadership in the production of rearview mirrors and turn signals for motorcycles and scooters.

Today · The new generation

Today, more than 50 years after its foundation, Marco Cesari’s children — Emanuel, Diego and Valentina — are taking their first steps in the company, enriching it with new ideas and putting their entrepreneurial instinct to the test.
