Description:
The most highly anticipated Vespa World Days 2024 event lived up to expectations. The Vespa Parade, huge procession of Vespas if every era, model, and colour, was a success like never before seen in seventy years of global Vespa rally editions.<br/><br/>There were 15,000 Vespas which paraded from the Pontedera city centre through the hills of the Pisa province to the return to the Vespa Village, the beating heart of the huge festival. It was a number never before seen, worthy of a Guinness World Record.<br/>It was a huge serpentine of Vespas, spectacular, colourful, and stretching out over more than 15 kilometres, which included Vespisti who had arrived from every continent for the annual rally of Vespa Clubs from all over the world. In addition to the high numbers from Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Spain, The Netherlands, Switzerland and Austria, Vespa Club mixed in from countries such as Japan, Argentina, Hong Kong, Kuwait, the United States, Canada, China and Vietnam, as a testament to the global nature of the Vespa phenomenon.<br/><br/>Leading the parade was a special Vespa GTS 300 with the colours and insignia of the Polizia di Stato (Italian State Police), donated by Piaggio at the opening of the Vespa World Days event. And among the first Vespisti leading the parade, Rudy Zerbi stood out, TV host and Vespa enthusiast, astride a brilliant Vespa Gtv 300.<br/>All the models manufactured in seventy-eight years of Vespa history paraded through the streets of the Pisa province, from the first and extremely rare 98cc made in 1946 all the way to the latest versions of Vespa Primavera, Sprint and GTS, with legendary models in between such as the early ’50s era 125 “faro basso”, the widespread VBB ranges, the 1964 50cc units, the ET3 125 units, the ’70s era Rally machines, and a steadily growing number of Vespa PX units.
