Vespa Motor Scooter
Rides Again
There's something classically cool about the films
of the fifties to early sixties…
La Dolce Vita -
directed by Federico Fellini, starring Marcello Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg
Roman Holiday-
directed by Billy Wilder and starring Gregory Peck and
Audrey Hepburn
The World of Suzie Wong-
directed by Richard Quine, starring William Holden and
Nancy Kwan
An American in Paris
- directed by Vincente Minnelli, starring Gene
Kelly and Leslie Caron
L'Avventura -
directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, starring Gabriele
Ferzetti and Monica Vitti
It all seemed so stylized and elegant. Perhaps,
because they were
bitten by the bug!
No, not some perky parasite! The Vespa (Italian for
wasp) Motor Scooter was featured in
each flick.
 The
Euro way to buzz around town or country disappeared
from the American scene for 15 years. But now, the Italian
motorscooter is back and the
perfect vroom vroom style staple
to get around in for summer.
The Vespa ET2 and ET4
are available in nine groovy
colors-- including the retro pale
green and claim to be
nearly as intuitive to ride as a bicycle. Perhaps that's
why Lenny Kravitz, Marc Antony, and Lauren Holly are
members of the Vespa Owners Club.
Or, maybe it's because these scooters are just so darn
irresistible! Avanti, amore!
