Scooters Piaggio Vespa: libros - historia y modelos (4/5)

Vespa - Un'avventura italiana nel mondo

From the Piaggio Historical Archive comes to life a unique adventure, unfolding continuously from 1946 to the present day, from the MP6 prototype to the Vespa Electric.
A magical two-seater flying carpet, a two-wheeled car in the post-war era, a symbol of youth revolution, a passport to modernity, a legend that renews itself without ever betraying: thanks to the commitment of those who created and spread it worldwide, the Vespa is recounted here as it had never been before.

Vespa ed altri scooter Piaggio

Among the many books published on the Vespa, the volume written by engineer Sandro Colombo stands out for two fundamental elements. The first is the description of the models produced under the Vespa name and those of entire families of no less important models produced and sold under the Piaggio brand, from the Sfera to the latest models produced in 2015.
The second is a particular in-depth examination of the technical aspect of the various models and certain particular construction techniques that are exclusive to the Pontedera-based manufacturer.

The book is in black and white with a chapter in colour devoted to the original advertising used for the Vespa or, more generally, to the original communication techniques implemented by those in charge of this important sector.

Ciao Piaggio Melocompro…

El Piaggio Ciao, con un diseño sencillo pero inteligente, fue el ciclomotor italiano más vendido en el mundo. Conocido por su eficiencia y facilidad de uso, sigue siendo insuperable.

Lanzado durante las protestas estudiantiles, pronto fue deseado por jóvenes de 14 años y mantuvo su popularidad durante décadas, hasta los años 2000. Producido en numerosas versiones, el Ciao es hoy muy valorado por coleccionistas, viajeros y aficionados al tuning, en parte por la disponibilidad de repuestos.

Este libro ofrece una visión completa de la historia técnica e industrial del Ciao. También analiza su impacto cultural y social en Italia y en otros países, con un catálogo detallado de todas sus versiones y ediciones.
