Vespa mi amore (D)

In the beginning, the Vespa was simply a practical, economical alternative to a car. Then came the Swinging Fifties and movies in which a Vespa played a starring role – and today they're more popular than ever. L.-U. Kubisch and Günther Uhlig recount the history and stories of these little vehicles with their knobby wheels: a loving homage to unrivaled classics that became trendsetters, copied countless times – but never equaled. This completely revised, updated, and expanded Vespa chronicle, now 32 pages longer, pays tribute to all Vespas, recounting their technology, cult status, and kitsch – and offers countless stunning photographs.
