OUR HOUSE - CASA ITALIANA
As an organization dedicated to the celebration of an iconic Italian symbol of liberty, we are proud to have emerged from our recent beginning as a program committee of the Casa Italiana Sociocultural Center to our present status as an independent foundation with our own unique mission, celebrating Italian art, design, performing art and the freedom we all enjoy thanks to the Vespa.
OUR INSPIRATIONS
Corradino D'Ascanio, the designer of the original Vespa and many subsequent models, deserves to be celebrated for his contribution to the world for this artful, elegant, energy efficient and splendid way to travel. We enjoy reaching the cultural events we celebrate by the Vespa. You can be one of the Vespisti too. Benvenuto!
