Vespa 125 PX Alaska-Terra del Fuoco

Writer and journalist Giorgio Bettinelli (1955-2008) became famous with the publication of In Vespa, his book recounting his trip on a Vespa, the first of many, from Rome to Saigon between July 1992 and March 1993. An accidental Vesparado, after that first trip Bettinelli never stopped: his travels took him all over the world, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, from Australia to South Africa, from Chile to Tasmania, through North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania. From 1994 to 1995, Giorgio Bettinelli undertook a trip from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego with this Vespa scooter on display at the Piaggio Museum.
