Signed Vespa Tecnica Vol. 2 1956–1964 Italian Scooter Hardcover Book

Introduced by Piaggio in 1946, the Vespa was designed by aeronautical engineer Corradino D’Ascanio as practical transportation for postwar Italy. Its distinctive step-through frame and enclosed engine helped set it apart from the conventional motorcycle, and by the 1950s, the Vespa had become an internationally recognized symbol of Italian design.
