The History of the Vespa: An Italian Miracle: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The History of the Vespa: An Italian Miracle" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Despite the symbolic capital and the global commercial success of the Vespa scooter, there is no academic book dealing with its history, only literature produced by the company itself or by scooter enthusiasts. The origins of the Vespa are shrouded in mist, entrusted more to myth than to historical truth. Based on lengthy research carried out in Piaggios historical archives and on an interdisciplinary approach, this volume aims to fill this gap. It shows how the Vespa took techniques from the most advanced aeronautical industries in the world, adapting and hybridizing them in an original way, and how the company disseminated its models in the transnational social space.
