02:14filling the Italian capital with a colourful bus to celebrate the legendary Vespa's 80th anniversary.
02:20The massive international gathering of enthusiasts, known as Vespisti,
02:25brought riders from across the globe to navigate seat centres
02:28with municipal authorities opening streets usually entirely close to private traffic.
02:33To meet people from the world, to be in a meeting where you'll find diversities of people,
02:39people, different bikes, different models of bikes,
02:43it's like you're filling the heart because we have the passion for the Vespa.
02:47For me, the Vespa is so many things.
02:50For me, the Vespa is a style of life, it's a lightness, it's to enjoy the moment,
02:56it's to live the landscape, it's to live the mood of life,
02:59it's to live at a slow pace, everything around us, with the maximum freedom and serenity.

03:22The brand's enduring romantic status was cemented internationally through classic cinema appearances
03:27in Hollywood and Italian masterpieces like Roman Holiday and La Dolce Vita.
03:33While international collectors travelled for weeks to participate in the Grand Parade,
03:38the iconic metal scooters continue to be manufactured
03:41at their original historic production site in Pontadera, Tuscany.
04:01Thank you very much.
