More than 5000 Vespa fans from 15 countries coloured the streets of Cefalù and Palermo, invading the north coast of Sicily.
This was a great success for the second edition of Vespa World Days: the most important world gathering dedicated to Vespa, famous throughout the world and flag bearer of Italian style.
Nearly 70km of road was travelled by fans who reached Palermo and paraded through the streets of the historic centre, to then reach the finish at Fiera del Mediterraneo.
More than 2000 “vespisti” then celebrated the conclusion of the tour.
The variety of models which participated is impossible to determine: you could find legendary examples such as the Vespa ET3 from 1975, but also more modern and elegant models such as the GTS 250 and the 125 LXV (made in 2006 for the 60-year anniversary of the scooter).
If you’re a Vespa fan, go to Vespa World Days and Vespa World Club.
