Description - Vespa: Italian Street Style (Second E by Davide Et a Mazzanti
The Vespas history is a fascinating and varied one. The scooter has stamped its mark on an entire epoch. For almost 60 years, the Vespa has fascinated millions, giving the world a unique image of Italian design and remaining the means of transport most synonymous with freedom. Produced in 1946, the first Vespa offered mobility to everyone. Italy was getting over its war wounds and getting about on the scooter. During the 'Dolce Vita' years, 'Vespa' meant 'scooter'; foreign newspaper correspondents described Italy as 'Vespa country'; and, the role Vespa played in Italian society is shown by its appearance in dozens of films. Then, it became the two-wheeler for the time of economic boom. And during the 1960s and 1970s, it was the vehicle for the propagation of the revolution of ideas that the kids of those years were establishing. Now the "Vespa" provides the perfect solution to today's congested cities.
