In the museum pavilions, all the languages of the world are spoken while the Italian genius is admired among the visitors. A large snake over 10 kilometers long is announced because others will be added to the officially registered Vespas. Thousands are flocking to the Piaggio Museum, where the 140th anniversary of the group led by the brothers is being celebrated by Colaninno and where any excuse is good to immortalize yourself in a selfie. The epicenter of the party will be, for all four days, the Vespa Village set up in Piazza del Mercato in Pontedera.
