VESPA book by GIUSEPPE CAU The Rider of the Vespa in Italian

The Vespa will turn seventy-four years old 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 motor enthusiast. 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 test driver, an obscure but crucial activity for the quality of the vehicle. Today, at 91 years old, as lively as at the time of the first meeting, the hero of the Six Days is an indomitable testimonial of that passion that many, after him, have shared. In this volume, Giuseppe Cau opens the safe of memories, large and small, that he carries inside: the races, the victories, the colleagues. Giuseppe Cau and the Vespa: a love so great that, evidently, it was written in the Book of Destiny.
