We are thrilled to introduce the Lambretta & Vespa Community Activation Village, where visitors can explore Italian scooter culture through a hands‑on, intergenerational experience focused on education, craftsmanship, safety, creativity, and family‑friendly engagement. Follow our social media for a sneak peek of what’s to come.
