Enrico Piaggio: Vespa poster

Overview

It is 1945. Enrico Piaggio’s Pontedera factory is in ruins and the 12,000 people who worked there are condemned to unemployment and misery. Piaggio feels the enormous responsibility resting on his shoulders: the lives of so many families depend on his ability to create new jobs. A project is born in the mind of the entrepreneur: a small, robust, agile and affordable means of transport, capable of relaunching mobility, giving impetus to the recovery of the country’s economic and civil life. To make this dream come true, Piaggio turns to engineer Corradino D’Ascanio, a brilliant designer who uses the experience gained in the field of aeronautics to create the scooter that remains today the symbol of Italian creativity and design: the Vespa!

00:00:21 Good morning, Madam. Where is Mr. Piaggio?
00:04:27 They say she is shooting a film with Gregory Peck.
00:08:22 My name is Susanna Vannucci. Pleased to meet you.
00:12:19 Sure. But what will you do with them now?
00:16:35 -Thank you, sir. Goodbye. -Goodbye.
00:21:45 Excuse me, madam. I know I may seem inopportune,
00:25:27 Wait. I'll go see.
00:29:14 And this gave me a nice opportunity to pay homage to you.
00:34:36 -That is the engine. -We'll put it somewhere else.

00:42:02 That's better.
00:47:07 Slowly… Slowly, stop! Stop!
00:52:20 Oh, no, don't take it so personally. War is a terrible thing.
