"On 23 April 1946, at 12 o'clock in the central office for inventions, models and makes of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in Florence, Piaggio e C. S.p.A. took out a patent for a "motorcycle of a rational complexity of organs and elements combined with a frame with mudguards and a casing covering the whole mechanical part"
"The first prototype was given the initials MP5 and baptized "Paperino," the Italian name for Donald Duck, a nick-name given to it by the workers because of the strange shape it had"

It's so romantic... how can any other scooters compare with Vespa?

Lovely scooter in the beautiful place.
It is a beautiful color pink. It must be a Lady Vespa.
I saw a red one the other day. I'd love to ride on a cute scooter.
I would love to have a Vespa to cruise around in.
I loved the series of buildings on the waterfront. Very beautiful.
What A Scooter !! Great
My daughter would love that but what I like even more is the scenery in the 2nd photo - so pretty!
Perfect title !!! Nice Paperino:)
Just spotted and duly photographed another nice pink Vespa here. Your setting is obviously more scenic...
That is a beautiful machine! We have been toying with the idea of getting one as it would be the ideal transport for nipping around Bath. Lovely images. Hope you are well.
Che bello, si vede la Chiesa in cui mi sono sposata!!! Per fortuna ci sei tu che mi fai ricordare la mia città!
It's so cute:)
Che bello ...!
Yes it's really good pic..!
I love the pretty, pink, picture of the Vespa! My 3 daughters would definitely FIGHT over it. Unless they could share and take turns . . .. Grazie!
So Italian ! and what a view !
Superb photograph! I could sit and look at it all day! Great colors and tack-sharp.
I'm a pink kind of woman, so I loved the Vespa. But the scenery is even more wonderful.
I love this photo. I saw this Vespa daily during my stay in Verona. It always made me smile and wonder who it belongs to.
