MANTUA INVADED BY THOUSANDS OF VESPA.
310 VESPA CLUB FROM 31 COUNTRIES FOR THE BIGGEST SCOOTER
RALLY IN THE WORLD DEDICATED TO THE SCOOTER MOST LOVED IN THE
WORLD
Mantua, June 13, 2014 - It is a full-fledged, peaceful,
colorful and gigantic invasion. Mantua woke up this morning with
thousands of Vespa cruising its streets. There are over 4,000 Vespa
officially enlisted, and many more Vespa, arrived yesterday all
through early this morning to participate in the Vespa World Days
2014.
Thousands more are announced for today especially from Northern
Italy.
This is the most important world gathering of the Vespa Club.
The Italian candidate for the Vespa World Days 2014 was gathered
two years ago, during the edition held in London, in the occasion
of the Olympic Games. Subsequently, Italian Vespa Clubs chose to
meet at the city of Gonzaga. Two years of work and now the result
is one of the most colossal editions of VWD ever organized. The
countries represented are 32 (representatives of the Czech Republic
were added last minute) and 310 Vespa Clubs have reached
Mantua.
Among the Vespa riders that arrived on Friday, we report 4 bold
member of the Vespa Club of St. Petersburg (Russia), who have
traveled three thousand kilometers to reach the city in Lombardy.
The Vespa Club that brought the largest number of Vespa is that of
Chiari (Brescia), with 109 present. Instead, they took the
opportunity of the Vespa World While a newlywed Sicilian couple
from Palermo took advantage of this occasion for its honeymoon - in
Vespa of course.
The 2014 edition is in full swing with a full program of tours
that bring the Vespa riders and their vehicles to travel to the
most beautiful places in the province of Mantua, including Felonica
and Sabbioneta with excursions all the way to Sirmione, Verona and
Brescia. In the evening, the party moves to the BOMA of
Mantua for the opening of Motoplex, the
new Concept Store branded Piaggio Group. The opening party sees the
extraordinary participation of Marco Melandri and
Sylvain Guintoli, Aprilia Superbike pilots
returning from the double triumph at Sepang in Malaysia.
Motoplex is the first new concept store
dedicated to all lovers of two wheels and a window on the future of
the Piaggio Group. It is, in fact, a tribute to the most important
brands of the Group - not only Vespa but also Piaggio, Aprilia and
Moto Guzzi - and the millions of customers, owners and fans who
possess these brands throughout the world.
There is an exceptional variety of Vespa models that have
reached Mantua, ranging from the very first Vespa at the end of the
40s until very recent Vespa Primavers and GTS, also accounting for
the great "tourers" Rally and Super Sprint (70s) and the immortal
Vespa PX - all models preserved and cared for with love and care,
which today are also protagonists in the Concours d'Elegance that
animated the Vespa Village in the central Virgilian plaza.
