Museo Piaggio

January 27th, 2010 · No Comments · Dan Bowen, on the road, piaggio

A few months back during my 4 month tour of Europe (not on 2 wheels) I found myself in Tuscany armed with the information that the Piaggio Museum wasn’t much over half an hour away via the train from Florence where I was staying, result.

It’s situated on the grounds of the factory in Pontedera and it’s directly on the way to Pisa which most tourists end up visiting while in the area. It’s also free entry in. So if you’re into scooters and round those parts, it’s a must.

The Vespas they had on show were mouth-watering, some absolutely mint classics as you’d expect. I’m thinking of planning an elaborate heist at some point in the future, the Italian Job if you will. If anyone wants in then give me a shout.

See below for pictures.
