Thousands of mopeds buzz around Rome – The Vespa turns 80

Perhaps the world's most beloved moped of all time turns 80, and to celebrate, over 10,000 Vespas paraded through Rome on Sunday. This is reported by AP.

In 1946, in the wake of World War II, the moped was launched with the ambition of being easy to drive in narrow alleys and affordable for ordinary Italians.

Over the weekend, Vespa fans gathered in Rome to meet, exchange stickers and buy merch. Many are also doing their best to get their hands on the coveted anniversary helmet – with the text “80 years of an icon” on the side.

“Nobody ever says anything bad about a Vespa, you know. It’s crazy,” says Burke Sandman, who owns 15 Vespas and has traveled to the Vespa Festival in Rome from the United States.
