With over sixteen million units manufactured, it is a familiar sight in every corner of the globe, and is part and parcel of the urban landscape. Its birth, however, dates back to 1945 as the revolutionary idea of a car with two wheels, incorporating a series of astonishing features clearly borrowed from aeronautics. A perfect combination of function, production rationalization and shapely elegance, the Vespa very soon began to make its mark as one of the signs of our times. Italian edition available.
