Vespa 1960 Rome Olympics

This photo of Vespa at the Rome Olympics celebrates 50 years of EuroVespa - the huge Vespa meet that took place in occasion of the Olympics in 1960. It’s part of a photographic exhibition organised by the Vespa Club Roma that will close tomorrow, so if you’re in town you’ve got the last day to go and see it.

The Vespa meet in Rome this year took place last weekend, with Vespas of all makes and years participating. The 1960 Olympic games was a key moment in Italian sporting history, marking a recovery of the country after World War II and becoming a fundamental part of the economic boom that propelled Italy into the modern era. The Vespa is just one symbol of those times.
