Vespa Store as a Social Space
Do Vespas count as artistic creations? I think many fans would wager to say "yes." I can personally say that the way the store lines their brightest colored scooters out on the curbside is a form of art.
While we were walking through Brooklyn, a Vespa store caught the eye of my classmate, my professor, and myself. We had all previously been walking pretty much seperately, in more or less a single file line, not conversing. However, when I saw the Vespa store across the street in the distance, I immediately ventured over. Sure enough, my professor followed, and so did my classmate. Next thing I knew, we were all suddenly discussing Vespas. Come to find out, my classmate even bought one for his wife's anniversary gift! Yet another social space created by art.
The Vespa was first manufactured in 1946 in pontedera, Italy by a company named Piaggio. b Since then, not only has the company created millions of social spaces with their designs, but they have also become Europe's largest producer of vehicles with two wheels.
