Why Italian?
It’s what we are trained in, travelled in, rehearsed in and passionate about.
Why La Vespa?
La Vespa in Italian means the wasp or bee. Vespa is also the name given to the famous scooter, as it reminded the Italians of the sound of a wasp as the scooter zipped along.
However, to us and many people a Vespa scooter is an Italian icon. They are authentic, classic and fun, economical, reliable and convenient in the city. To us this is La Vespa Charlestown.
