Vespa to turn 80 in 2026

MANILA: Vespa is set to celebrate its 80th anniversary next year.

In a statement, the Pontedera-headquartered marque announced that it will hold the milestone festivity in Rome on June 25-28. Per Vespa, it will serve as the “biggest party in the history of the legendary brand.”

According to Vespa, it chose Rome to be the venue for its 80th anniversary, noting that the location has always been a symbol of Italy’s “Dolce Vita” (the sweet life) in the collective imagination — making it “the perfect destination” to celebrate “an icon that has never aged, successfully reinventing itself over time to remain contemporary.”

The Piaggio Group-led firm shared that tens of thousands of Vespa enthusiasts from all over the globe are expected to take part in the event.

Further, Vespa also said that the event will not just be a party for its ardent fans as it is eyed to be an “incredible event that will go beyond a simple celebration of the passion for a vehicle that is unique in the world.”

The full program will be revealed next autumn (around September-November).
