VESPA Book by GIUSEPPE CAU The Knight of the Vespa in Italian

The Vespa will turn seventy-four next April, and Giuseppe Cau will celebrate the same number of years riding the scooter that changed his life. A bond that has never been broken since that day in 1946, when they met in the Roman workshop where he worked, an eighteen-year-old passionate about engines. Giuseppe Cau wrote great pages in the sporting history of the Vespa, but he was also fundamental in its development over the many years as a tester, an obscure but crucial activity for the quality of the vehicle. Today, at 91, as lively as when they first met, the hero of the Sei Giorni is an indomitable testimonial of that passion that many, after him, have shared. In this volume, Giuseppe Cau opens the safe of memories, big and small, that he carries within him: the races, the victories, his colleagues. Giuseppe Cau and the Vespa: a love so great that, evidently, it was written in the Book of Destiny.
