VESPA ROMA 2026 – 80 YEARS OF AN ICON
The Eternal City is preparing to host celebrations for the 80th anniversary of a timeless icon. Rome will welcome enthusiasts from all over the world, with thousands of Vespisti arriving from every continent.
From the 25th to 28th June there will be festivities and events open to all with music, exhibitions, games, special guests, and endless fun.
Set to be the largest gathering in Vespa history, tens of thousands of Vespisti from around the world are expected to celebrate a universal symbol of style and freedom.
Davide Zanolini – EVP Global Marketing & Communication, Piaggio Group:
“In Rome, we are celebrating 80 years not just of a brand, but of a lifestyle that has uniquely inspired generations worldwide. It will be a massive celebration, bringing together passionate fans from every continent to share their love for Vespa and the innate sense of freedom that only she can create. All of this will unfold with the unmistakable style and elegance that Vespa has always carried along the streets of the world”.
The heart of VESPA ROMA 2026 – 80 YEARS OF AN ICON will be the Foro Italico, specifically the Stadio dei Marmi, which will be transformed into the Vespa Village for the occasion. The Village’s Main Stage will host continuous entertainment and special guests. Naturally, the Vespisti will take center stage with their models from every era, alongside Vespa Clubs expected from 48 nations. However, all Vespa lovers are invited to join the celebration and share their passion.
Sponsored by the Municipality of Rome, the four-day event is completely open to the public—because Vespa belongs to everyone.
