The Federazione Motociclistica Italiana (FMI) demonstrated a session from its “Pillole di Guida” programme at EICMA 2026. The initiative promotes riding safety, and its presentation took place in a small room at the FMI stand. Federal technicians Federico Pieri and Giuseppe Buttiglieri recreated the format of a regular training session for the show audience.

The programme is intended to help motorcyclists move away from the most common dangerous situations. It begins with the fundamentals: establishing the correct riding position and working towards the highest possible level of motorcycle control. The session staged at the exhibition lasted three quarters of an hour and was built around direct interaction with the participating audience.

How the information is delivered is central to the approach. Pieri and Buttiglieri draw on experience and persuasive explanation, aiming to share their knowledge rather than simply hand down a set of instructions. The format also addresses a practical obstacle in adult training: riders may initially be reluctant to accept the role of student, making persuasion part of the teaching process itself.

With “Pillole di Guida”, FMI is using a direct, participatory way to discuss riding safety. Its focus on basic riding fundamentals and conversation with the rider gives the initiative a practical character, presenting safety through understanding and engagement rather than through a list of rules alone.
