Mantua 15 June 2014 - Time for farewells and departure
at the Vespa World Days 2014. The Mantua edition
will be long remembered as the largest Vespa Club event
ever organized. The 10k long parade of Vespa that
travelled the streets of Mantua yesterday and then took to the
roads of the Lombard province until reaching San Benedetto Po was
quite a sight to behold, as never before seen. An estimated 10,000
Vespa is believed to have participated.
Mantua was engulfed in four days of music, partying,
friendship and love for Vespa, as enthusiasts from Vespa
Club around Europe arrived (from Finland to Greece) with fans also
from Argentina, Brazil,
Israel, USA,
Jordan and Kuwait. All as
testimony of a single passion, that for Vespa, a passion that knows
no boundaries and that has reached every corner of the world thanks
to over 18 million Vespa sold on all
Continents.
The Aprilia Superbike pilots, Marco Melandri
and Sylvain Guintoli were at the lead of the Vespa
World Days celebration, mingling with the Vespa enthusiasts during
the kick-off party at the Mantua Motoplex, the new Concept
Store of the Piaggio Group dedicated to every two-wheel
fan that represents a window to the future of the Piaggio Group and
a tribute to the Group's most important brands, not only Vespa but
also Piaggio, Moto Guzzi and Aprilia.
The party then moved to the Vespa Village last
night for the awards ceremony. The Vespa Club
Pordenone ranked first and claimed the Vespa
Trophy, the competition among Vespa riders that kept logs
of their journey towards Mantua in their Travel Book. A trophy to
tourism that involved 25 Countries around the world. The goal was
to reach Mantua while visiting the greatest number of Check Points
and with the most Vespa possible. Pordenone dominated the rankings,
surpassing Vespa Club Cerignola and the Serbian Vespa Club "We Ride
Everywhere".
The Vespa Club d'Italia rendered praise to all national Vespa
Clubs that took part in the event.
The last official act of this outstanding rally was
commissioning the Vespa Club di Biograd in
Croatia, where Vespa World Days 2015 is set to be hosted
against the backdrop of the Dalmatia Sea.
