Enrico Piaggio: Vespa

Set in 1945, the film opens with Enrico Piaggio facing the daunting task of revitalizing his Pontedera factory amidst widespread unemployment. With 12,000 workers relying on him, Piaggio feels the weight of responsibility as he works to forge a path towards recovery and prosperity.

The narrative focuses on Piaggio's collaboration with engineer Corradino D’Ascanio, who brings his aeronautical expertise to the project. Together, they develop a small, robust, and affordable scooter that not only transforms personal mobility but also symbolizes the resilience of the Italian spirit in the post-war era. The Vespa becomes more than just a means of transport; it embodies the hope and creativity of a nation striving to rebuild.
