Vespa Marks 80th Anniversary With Its Biggest-Ever Celebration, 'Vespa Roma 2026,' in Rome

The same year as Ducati's 100th-anniversary WDW, Vespa also hits a major milestone — a big year for the Italian motorcycle industry.

'Biggest ever' gets said at pretty much every anniversary event, so I'd like actual numbers on the scale this time.

Vespa's been going for 80 years — deeper history than I imagined.

Just the tagline 'biggest ever' gets me excited — an event I'd love to attend if I could.

Four days, June 25-28, with enthusiasts converging from around the world — Rome's traffic is probably going to be pretty lively too.

Vespa's 80th anniversary as the biggest-ever celebration in Rome — hosting it in that hallowed city alone gives it special meaning.
