When scooter news breaks, we put it under a tarp in the garage.

Is it just me, or does it seem like Vespa’s official history always stops in the mid-60s and starts back up with the Et?
There were some “chi mangia la mele” ads, so I’d say mid-70s, but yeah, the P-series and Cosa were pretty much written out. I have no idea if that’s an official Vespa film, but I’m guessing it is.
OK, now that you watched it, did you “get it” all along that it was a Vespa logo? I didn’t, which is embarrassing because a) I’m a designer/type nerd, and b) it’s totally obvious the second time you watch it. I just kept thinking “this little cardboard city has some crazy intersections.”
Did anyone else notice that near the end there, while the little vespa was travelling along and all the flags of the nations were being scribbled not a SINGLE U.S. flag was drawn ?
I’m telling you…they don’t give a damn about us…never have….never will.

I noticed on flag that I think they intended to be a US flag. It was the stripes with a single star.
I think it’s ironic that the coloring is done be the Vespa exhaust and their trying to spread a message on internationalism. Is the Vespa bringing the world together or helping to destroy the world together?
That would be the flag of Puerto Rico
That’s pretty much America.
Sort of.
