About Piaggio
Country of Origin:
Italy
Founder:
Rinaldo Piaggio (later Vespa by Corradino D’Ascanio’s design)
Best Known For:
Vespa scooters; later umbrella for Aprilia, Moto Guzzi, and more
Company History
Piaggio pivoted from rail and aeronautics to postwar mobility with the Vespa, a steel-bodied icon that made personal transport elegant and gender-neutral. Protective bodywork, step-through ergonomics, and reliable engines turned the scooter into a social transformer across Europe and beyond. Over decades, Piaggio refined two-strokes into clean four-strokes, added modern electronics and ABS, and expanded body styles from classic Primavera to sporty GTS. As a group, Piaggio also stewarded storied marques like Aprilia and Moto Guzzi, leveraging scale while letting brands keep identity. Historically, Piaggio is both a product and a platform: it defined the scooter as a cultural object, then built an industrial network that sustains diverse two-wheel passions under one roof.
