The Vespa: An Italian symbol of a fresh start at the end of World War
II; a picture of optimism and of growing wealth; an emblem of the
family; and the witness of many love stories.

Exactly 60 years after its arrival on the scene, the Vespa is still a
cult object worldwide for young and old, a vehicle capable of
changing its look while keeping its own familiar design. The vespa, a
mere scooter, has remained in vogue for no less than six decades. Its
story runs parallel with the history of Italy and Europe from the end
of the war until present day, step by step with the social and
cultural changes that have taken place in the last 60 years.

The story is narrated with the help of firsthand testimonials,
exclusive interviews with those who first launched the Vespa on the
market, designers of various models over the years, those who have
analysed the Vespa phenomenon, as well as charming interviews with
collectors and fans of Vespas worldwide.
