Vespa marked its 80th anniversary with a parade of some 25,000 scooters in Rome, Italy. The celebration showed how the iconic scooter, born in 1946, continues to be loved across generations and borders.
In Europe, the Vespa isn't just a scooter. It became people's daily transport as part of postwar reconstruction, and turned into part of the fabric of film and city streets themselves. Having 25,000 gather after 80 years is proof it's taken root as culture. Even back when I lived in London, a Vespa on a street corner always caught my eye.

The Vespa's known for its steel body, right?
Right, the monocoque steel body. Crazy how that rounded shape has stayed almost unchanged for 80 years.
80th anniversary is impressive and all, but current Vespas are way too pricey. Totally a hobby vehicle now.
Exactly. That's not a practical-scooter price. Half of it's just the brand.
Cruising around Europe on a Vespa is such a dream. It fits the streets of Rome way too well.
Since 1946, huh, it's a scooter that's basically ridden alongside postwar reconstruction.
The fact that its Roman Holiday image has survived intact is what makes it so strong.
25,000 Vespas gathering in Rome sounds like an incredible sight. Would love to see that in person.
