18-20 April 2024, Pontedera <\/em>– Pisa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Vespa enthusiasts from all over the world celebrated Vespa World Days<\/strong> as every year. This year, for the first time, the event was held in Pontedera, city in which started the myth of Vespa. Italian Vegetable Tanned Leather <\/strong>decided to support this event and pay homage to this iconic scooter, but how? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vespa World Days<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vespa World Days<\/em> is an annual rally and gathers enthusiasts of the most beloved scooter of the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This meeting is tradition<\/strong> and passion which has been going on for many years joining passion, community feelings and entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first edition, called Eurovespa<\/em>, goes back to 1954<\/strong> in Paris<\/strong> and from there Vespa World Days<\/em> takes place in different locations and continents, spreading more and more love<\/strong> and passion<\/strong> both for Vespa<\/strong> and Made In Italy<\/strong> feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vespa: the birth<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vespa<\/em><\/strong> is so iconic, and Moma<\/strong> of New York<\/strong>, the temple of the modern art, has decided to give a place of honor<\/strong> in its permanent exposition to Vespa GS150<\/em> <\/strong>designed by Corradino D’Ascanio<\/strong> in 1955<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the age, Enrico Piaggio<\/em><\/strong> was determinend to invest in an innovative project<\/strong> and he chose Corradino D’Ascanio<\/strong>, an aeronautical designer<\/strong> who hated motorcycles. So why Piaggio chose D’Ascanio?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D’Ascanio<\/em> was a visonary<\/strong>: thanks to him we have the first prototype<\/strong> of the contemporary helicopter<\/strong> and for Enrico<\/em> Piaggio<\/em> himself he seemed to be the right person.Choice was driven by the engineer’s total dinstance from the two-wheeled world and beyond the expectations<\/strong>, it was Corradino himself who gave life to Vespa<\/strong>: the myth<\/strong> we all know today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

About the Project<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corradino D’Ascanio<\/em><\/strong> set up the project by joining design<\/strong> and technique<\/strong>. His own background from aeronautical engineering inspired him to create an aircraft landing<\/strong> gear<\/strong> similar suspensions<\/strong>, and he also created an engine <\/strong>with the aircraft starter motors mechanism<\/strong>. He also wanted to improve usability and find an innovative solution for its design<\/strong>: D’Ascanio decided to change all of the things he hated about motorcycles trying to making driving enjoyable<\/strong>. Vespa has a comfortable<\/strong> drive position<\/strong>, inspired by the sitting of the armchair<\/strong>; shifters <\/strong>on the handlebars; he added a spare wheel<\/strong> and he covered engine with a recycle aircraft parts<\/strong> no longer needed after the end of first World War<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Enrico Piaggio<\/em><\/strong> saw the project for the first time said: ”It seems to be a wasp!<\/strong><\/em>” (wasp, ita: vespa). And Vespa it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vespa project was patented<\/strong> on 23rd April 1946<\/strong> and from that moment all of the Piaggio Factories<\/em> in Pontedera<\/em> has never stopped to produce pieces and news models of this iconic two-wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since there, Vespa<\/em> has been representing italian genius<\/strong>, joined to innovation<\/strong> and Made In Italy design<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Iconic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vespa<\/em> has made for everyone<\/strong>, and belongs to everyone<\/strong>, it’s colorful<\/strong> and it is a symbol of free-time<\/strong>, happiness<\/strong>, tradition<\/strong>, levity<\/strong> and creativity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right in Pontedera, Vespa<\/em> deserved its own museum: Piaggio Museum<\/strong> has been inaugurated in 2000 right in the premises<\/strong> of the former tool workshops<\/strong>. Museum was born in on of the oldest<\/strong> and most fascinating<\/strong> buildings of the industrial <\/strong>complex of Pontedera, where Piaggio Company<\/strong><\/em> established its production starting from the early 1920s<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today Piaggio Museum is the biggest italian museum<\/strong> about two-wheels world, and it is a real jewel for all the Vespa enthusiasts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the occasion of Vespa World Days<\/em>, Museo Piaggio<\/strong> also celebrated its birthday<\/strong> with its 140 years-old<\/strong> – the Tuscan Company has founded in 1884<\/strong>– and hosts ”Vespa All Over the World<\/em>” exhibition, and its Piaggio<\/em> historical archive which tells the story about Vespa during its golden age, from 1940s to 1960s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the Municipality of San Miniato<\/em>, together with Ponte a Egola’s Tanners Consortium<\/em>, Real Leather Consortium<\/em>, Essebi upholstery<\/em>, Pontedera Vespa Club<\/em> and San Miniato Vespa Club<\/em> we made<\/strong> a Special Vespa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finished in Vegetable Tanned leather<\/strong> from our Consortium<\/em>, paired with its helmet, the Vespa was made<\/strong> and sewn by hand<\/strong>, in all of its parts covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has been a beautiful occasion for us, to celebrate<\/strong> this Vespa myth<\/em> and above all pay homage<\/strong> to this prestigious product that represents -in the whole world- our beloved territory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
