It has been a symbol of freedom for entire generations. A two-wheeled vehicle with simple, functional mechanics, as was fitting for the time. And at the same time, it was affordable, accessible and loved by everyone, starting with young people. This is the calling card of the legendary “Vespa”, designed by Piaggio way back in 1946, and which we will be able to admire in dozens of original versions on Sunday 29 March in Piazza Gramsci during “Vespe a Primavera”, the 1st Vespa Club Castelfiorentino Rally, which also counts as the 3rd round of the regional championship, featuring gymkhana races, music and a double acrobatic display with \u201cNicola l\u2019Impennatore\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over 200 participants are expected for an event that the \u201cVespa Club\u201d organising committee has chosen to organise with a focus on the exhibition aspect rather than the \u201cclassic\u201d touring format, both to give the public plenty of time to browse the various models and to allow \u201cVespa enthusiasts\u201d the opportunity to get to know one another, exchange views on their vehicles, share tips on proper maintenance, and so on. From 9:30 a.m., participants will be welcomed at the registration desk, where they will also collect a souvenir of the event and park their \u201cVespas\u201d in the designated areas. Two \u201cspecial\u201d exhibitions are also planned, curated by the President and Treasurer of the Vespa Club Castelfiorentino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next (10:00 a.m.), the first demonstration featuring \u201cslalom races\u201d by the \u201cVespa Club\u201d Castelfiorentino (which has achieved impressive results at regional level) and at 11:00 a.m. everyone will be holding their breath for the show by \u201cNicola l\u2019Impennatore\u201d, who has been touring Italy and abroad for many years now, performing daring stunts with skill and experience. In short, a show not to be missed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At 12:00 p.m., an aperitif is scheduled, followed at 12:30 p.m. by a Lami Social Club lunch featuring a sandwich, porchetta, water, beer or wine, and coffee. The awards ceremony is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. Please also note that both the gymkhana race and the show by Nicola l\u2019Impennatore will be repeated in the afternoon, at 2:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn the space of three years,\u201d emphasises Alessandro Dimasi, President of the Vespa Club Castelfiorentino, \u201cwe have already exceeded 200 members in our Castelfiorentino Club, proving the fact \u2013 as I always try to reiterate \u2013 that teamwork divides the tasks and multiplies the success. \u201cThis result would not have been possible without the invaluable contribution of the entire Executive Committee, starting with its Vice-President, Salvatore Spinapolice, alongside Treasurer Claudio Martini and Secretary Renzo Tani. We are delighted with the response we have received for Sunday\u2019s event, as evidenced by the registration of hundreds of enthusiasts just like us\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAn event steeped in nostalgia,\u201d emphasises Franco Spina, Councillor for Tourism and Events, \u201cwhere visitors will have the chance to admire a wide array of vintage “Vespa” models, but also an event that is sure to spark curiosity and amazement thanks to attractions such as the gymkhana race and Nicola\u2019s eagerly awaited acrobatic performance. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the president of the Castelfiorentino Vespa Club, Alessandro Dimasi, who, together with the entire board of the association, has put in a great deal of organisational effort to bring this event to fruition, bringing a breath of joy and light-heartedness to Castelfiorentino\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n
