Exactly 78 years ago today, Enrico Piaggio registered the Vespa developed by Corradino D'Ascanio at the patent office in Florence. So today is the birthday of an icon. How are you celebrating the day? 🎂🍾🥂🎁🎉🥳

Belive it is the Italian original. Here is the official US Patent from 1949: https://worldwide.espacenet.com/patent/search/family/088244353/publication/USD156609S?q=pn%3DUSD156609S
