Artwork description:

“Vespa.” Is surely one of my favorite shots. Seeing it parked on the side road, in a seaside town, takes me as a child again. We are from millennials generation and in Italy we grew up with the icon of the vespa as a symbol of freedom. The same freedom that was felt on Sunday without the obligation of the school at that time, of work today.

Nowadays, some people look at a vespa and see an obsolete vehicle, yes is true. Other people see its historical and therefore its economic value, yes is true too.

I see my childhood. Maybe, even for this reason that I can’t go over without to think whether the owner knows that it is sitting its buttocks on a piece of history of many people as me.

If you are a vespa owner, take extra care, please.
