Ever since Audrey Hepburn took control of her Vespa in the 1953 classic Roman Holiday, the Italian scooter has been a symbol of joy and style, and on its 75-year-old birthday, many Italians remain fondly attached to theirs.
"I've had a Vespa for 12 years, I'm on my third," said Marco Guerrieri, a Roman accountant in his 40s.
