Dario Cerano, President of Vespa Club AMICINVESPA Busto Arsizio, has been very helpful in sending me interesting content for our VVC News Page and recently brought this 'Vespa' curiosity to my attention, when he sent me a link to an article featured on Italian motorcycling website www.motociclismo.it

Sharing the name of Piaggio's famous 2-wheeled vehicle, this motorcycle hails not from Pontedera but from the town of Cascina Costa in Lombardy's Varese province and was the first motorcycle from manufacturer, MV Augusta. The following photos and translated text are from Motociclismo's full article which can be viewed here
