The anniversary of the "wasp"
Did you know that Vespa means wasp in Italian ? In April 1946, Piaggio company registered the patent of the first Vespa ever in Firenze, at the Ministry of Industry. Finding motorcycles too noisy, dirty and trashy, the Piaggio brothers decided to create the Vespa, a comfy two-wheeler, perfect to drive in the city. Unless masculine motorbikes, this brand new scooter seduces every woman and superstars as Penelope Cruz in Zoolander 2, Nicole Kidman and Audrey Hepburn. Today, among the Vespa saga produced at 18 million units, the most successful is the PX model.
