The company that started the Vespa scooter tradition goes back over 100 years, and some of the photos in this video will make you feel a hundred years old when you see them! The history of Vespa scooters presented in pictures is a great way to study the scooter as well as ourselves. Vespa, which means "wasp" in Italian, has become what everyone pictures when someone mentions a scooter. The movie "Roman Holiday" with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck riding around Rome on a Vespa makes everyone smile and think of simpler times. If you have never seen the movie it is definitely worth renting.
See if you can pick out some of the things in this video that have never changed.
Have Fun!
