THE BIRTH OF A LEGEND
Vespa is more than a humble scooter.
Piaggio was founded in Genoa in 1884 by twenty-year-old Rinaldo Piaggio.
It took shape thanks to the successful co-operation of the aeronautical engineer and inventor Corradino D’Ascanio (1891-1981).
The Vespa (wasp in Italian) was the result of Enrico Piaggio’s determination to create a low cost product so anyone could afford one.
FIRST VESPA PATENT—On April 23, 1946
Movie Appearances
Roman Holiday with Greogory Peck and Audrey Hepburn
